Italian term or phrase: nessuna imputazione può essere levata a carico di
An owner of an apartment has sued the architect and builder for allegedly dodgy building work, including on a staircase at the property. The quote below is from the defence statement; it appears at the start of the section that deals with the staircase. The preceding section has rebutted allegations concerning some balustrades.
...
Not sure here if "levare" means "to raise" or "to take away from", or if "a carico di" means "by" or "against". Hopefully it's clear and the upshot is just that I didn't have a strong enough coffee this morning.
...
"Quand'anche, e lo si contesta, la scala fosse stata oggetta del contratto di compravendita intervenuto, ***nessuna imputazione puo' essere levata a carico del deducente*** che, in verita', non era il venditore dell'appartamento ne' l'avra' progettata ne' poteva assumere per conto della societa' venditrice alcun impegno che esulasse dal contratto di compravendita. La presenza della stessa non risulta - come invece avversariamente affermato - neppure dalla planimetria descrittiva pubblicata nel sito di rappresentazione del complesso immobiliare offerto in vendita che, comunque, va ascritta alla societa' venditrice e non certo al comparente."
...
Constructive comments welcome. TIA :).

no claim may be brought against
Explanation:
levare in the sense of "raise" a claim, i.e. bring a claim

I would use claim rather than charge, as these are civil not criminal proceedings.
