Sakliga skäl

English translation: objective grounds

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:Sakliga skäl
English translation:objective grounds

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Swedish term or phrase: Sakliga skäl
"om inte sakliga skäl föreligger"

The complete sentence is "Leverantören skall, om inte sakliga skäl föreligger, tillhandahålla...."
It appears in a contract, and I can't get my head around the exact English equivalent.

Thanks for any and all input!

specific hindrances ???


Explanation:
This is only a fragment of a sentence, but on the surface it looks completely illogical as it stands.

"Leverantören skall, om inte sakliga skäl föreligger, tillhandahålla...."

The supplier shall have available ... (unless there is some obvious hindrance ...)

Must surely be what is meant?
'saklig' means arguable, defensible, tangible etc. in other contexts.

Just my two pennyworth.
