Управа

English translation: recourse

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Russian term or phrase:Управа
English translation:recourse
Entered by: Fred Grasso

Russian to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Litigation
Russian term or phrase: Управа
This particular term is contained in the following headline: “Управа на рейдера”. The article deals, of course, with a company’s attempts to fend off a corporate raider at an upcoming court hearing. My USSR Academy of Sciences Institute of Russian Language monolingual dictionary (ed. 1961) defines it as "power (or authority) to limit someone’s willfulness or lawlessness”. A Google search returns a lot of non-Russian hits; not helpful. Haven’t come up with a good translation: “Justice to be Meted Out to Raider”? or “Jurisdiction over Raider"?

recourse
Explanation:
Recourse Against A Raider

Another variant. The word has some overtones of justice to it.

Good luck!

There's also "Reining In A Raider" but that's a slightly different meaning than Uprava, imho. Might work though.

Управа на реидеров
obtain justice against raiders


Explanation:
In Russian the expression 'наити управа на' means 'to obtain justice against' . In this case I think it means to find legal and other remedies that succeed in defeating the attacks of unscrupulous corporate raiders
and thereby obtaining justice against them.

Example sentence(s):
  • наити управа на

disagree  Ethan Bien: "Obtain justice" gets hits, but not in the same context as this source text-- It's in headlines like "Can so and so obtain justice in court?" "Can the poor of NY obtain justice?" NOT anywhere in the realm of corporations battling eachother.

Or just 'To keep a raider in check' as a distant pun on 'To catch a thief.'

redress


Explanation:
Believe "redress" against the raider would sound good in a legal context.
