Dutch term or phrase:
gedoogsituatie
English translation:
tolerance situation / situation of tolerance
Dutch term
gedoogsituatie
Na twee procedures bij de rechter, waar de beschikking van de gemeente werd vernietigd, kwam de kwestie in een impasse en is er de facto een gedoogsituatie ontstaan.
I'm not sure if they mean exemption, or that the council is simply looking the other way, or something else I haven't thought of. Your help is much appreciated!

Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: With Tina and you but I feel one would be more likely to use the word order "situation of tolerance" than "tolerance situation".

toleration situation
Ref: Juridisch Lexicon [Van den End/Gateway]
a situation of (defacto) permissiveness
This may be a betty way of stating it.

Chris Hopley
: E.g. here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2... (gedoogbeleid = permissive attitude). The situation seems to be that since the ban was overturned, there was de facto permission to make noise.
