no stipulations may supersede the law Explanation: Interestingly enough, I'm struggling with a similar phrase in a document I'm working on. The meaning is clear enough; no stipulations can be made that supersede the law unless they are in the buyer's favor. How best to express that in elegant English, I'm not certain. |

provisions of the law must not be stipulated against.... Explanation: ..unless it be to the advantage of the purchaser. This seems to be almost directly taken from Section 7A of the Sales Law. (Apartments), 5733-1973 (חוק המכר (דירות), תשל"ג-1973) (א) אין להתנות על הוראות חוק זה, אלא לטובת הקונה או קונה המשנה. http://www.moital.gov.il/cmsTamat/InternalPage.aspx?FRAMELES... The only EN translation of that sentence I can find online doesn't read too well to me: http://www.israelinsurancelaw.com/contract-laws/sale-apartme... I had a similar sentence recently which read something like: "which cannot be stipulated against unless to the advantage of the Insured", the HE was: "שאין להתנות עליו אלא לטובת המבוטח". |
