their <infringed or challenged> rights or law-safeguarded interests <that have been…>
Hello,
Could you please help me choose the best place for these modifiers. The complete original sentence is quite long (and involves additional issues), so I am only providing the main clause:
This is a translation, so paraphrasing options are limited. The conditions (imposed by the original text) are as follows:
Do you think that anything can be done with “law-safeguarded”/“safeguarded by law” (ensuring that it only refers to “interests”)?
P.S. A side note on “infringe” / “infringe on/upon”: I have checked the usage in similar contexts, for example: “Civil court cases arise where an individual or a business believes their rights have been infringed”. [www judiciary gov uk]
Hello,
Could you please help me choose the best place for these modifiers. The complete original sentence is quite long (and involves additional issues), so I am only providing the main clause:
X, Y, and Z have the right of recourse to court for protection of their <option A: infringed or challenged> rights or law-safeguarded interests <option B: that have been infringed or challenged>.
This is a translation, so paraphrasing options are limited. The conditions (imposed by the original text) are as follows:
[*=1]The words “infringed or challenged” refer to both “rights” and “interests”.
[*=1]“safeguarded by law” only refers to “interests” , so I had to convert it into a clumsy (?) premodifier. Please note that I cannot use “legally safeguarded” because “legally” is broader in meaning than “by law”.
Do you think that anything can be done with “law-safeguarded”/“safeguarded by law” (ensuring that it only refers to “interests”)?
