Italian term

Competenza indelegabile

Italian to English Bus/Financial Law (general) Corporate regulations and codes
It is in the regulations governing related party transactions (two tier governance).
"Il Consiglio di Gestione ha ** competenza esclusiva ** a deliberare in merito alla proposta deliberativa da sottoporre al Consiglio di Sorveglianza in relazione a una Operazione Strategica, essendogli quindi preclusa la facoltà di conferire delega a un proprio membro."

I would translate "has sole responsibility for submitting proposalt to ..." or "sole responsibility which may not be delegated" the latter a big mouthful
Is there anything better?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +3 non-delegable authority
5 -1 undeliverable responsability
4 non assignable powers
4 non-delegability of duty/power

I'm going to leave it 24 hours but... "non delegable powers" Googles very convincingly with two US law schools and a board of directors. Also there is a semantic difference between delegate (downwards, with *perhaps* the possibility to revoke or direct) and assign or transfer (losing all control).

@Simon Its an old chestnut which I always hesitate over, so I just decided to post it and get a line on it once and for all. Liz's post was the most enlightening: there's an answer just staring us in the face "undelegable" which seems in reputable use.
simon tanner Dec 6, 2010:
I'd just go with exclusive powers for the title. Exactly what is meant (i.e. the fact that these powers are non-assignable) is explained in the body of the article.
omero Dec 6, 2010:
> Jim D. HI :
'sole and exclusive competence/power/authority' .. would be meaningful enough to me in that second word reinforces the first.. p.s. 'authority' sounds best ..
cheers
James (Jim) Davis (asker) Dec 6, 2010:
Nothing That is practically what I have written "sole powers". The problem is "indelegabile" which is the term posted and the title of the article.
14.2.- **Competenza indelegabile** del Consiglio di Gestione.
Il Consiglio di Gestione ha competenza esclusiva a deliberare in merito alla proposta deliberativa da sottoporre al Consiglio di Sorveglianza in relazione a una Operazione Strategica, essendogli quindi preclusa la facoltà di conferire delega a un proprio membro.
Thomas Roberts Dec 6, 2010:
exclusive powers what's wrong with "shall have exlcusive powers.... and shall therefore be precluded the right to ..."?
James (Jim) Davis (asker) Dec 6, 2010:
Addendum to question The term posted is the title of the article in the regulations, the text of which is given.

undeliverable responsability

In administration terms it mean, that the only person responsible for a signature of an act or document, is the one assigned to it.

non assignable powers

I would suggest non assignable or non transferable.

All together would be "non assignable/transferable exclusive poweres"

non-delegability of duty/power

Hi there,
Not my field, however, I'm pretty sure this is it.
check these out:

have you considered simply "Delegability?" as a title?

Delegation of powers

In English, if it's the heading of a clause in a legal document saying that someone is not allowed to do something, the heading should say what they're not allowed to do, using a positive rather than a negative construction.

For example, if you have a clause in a contract saying "The parties must not wear cheap suits," the heading is not "Must not wear cheap suits" but simply "Cheap suits".
Note from asker:
Hi Phil, its internal related-part transaction regulations of a company. I'm not sure I want to "correct" the author, a legal expert, on such a fine point. Also most of the clauses are about decision-making powers anyway. Just who approves which transaction, which are divided into close on a dozen types.
Thanks Phil
