otillåtna

English translation: unlawful; illegal (depending on context)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:otillåtna
English translation:unlawful; illegal (depending on context)
Entered by: Charlesp

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Swedish term or phrase: otillåtna
Might it be possible to translate “otillåtna” as lawful?

Of course the ordinary translation of otillåtna is “impermissible,” but it would seem possible, in the context of asserting that an agreement entered into was null and void, that what was meant by “otillåtna” was “lawful.”

Any experts out there agree?

==

Here is some text for context:

Skadeståndsskyldighet på grund av otillåtna stridsåtgärder och därmed ogiltiga avtal föreligger enligt svensk rätt.

...att företagna stridsåtgärder är otillåtna och att de påtvingade avtalen är ogiltiga.

But I'm going to weigh in with this variant, the difference ...?
Check out the link below to the SwedenGov site-- in section 41a you should find this quote 'Industrial actions referred to in the first paragraph are unlawful. (SFS 1993:1498)'

Then, google "collective action" + unlawful; You should find to links for google books -- 'European Labour Courts' and 'Workplace Law Handbook'.

Explanation:
Termen "otillåtna" är i detta sammanhang störande luddig. Man måste, eftersom det talas om påföljder, anta att författaren menade "olagliga". Många författare använder, tyvärr, "otillåtna" och "olagliga" växelvis för samma sak.

Asker: Thanks Sven - esp. for the helpful comment and explanation. When you say "många författare," you know you are also speaking about judges on the Labour Court!
