Spanish term

La Tercera Sala de lo Penal y de Transito

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Refers obviously to a criminal court, but what on earth does "de transito" mean? The country concerned is Ecuador.

All help welcome. Best wishes. Sian.

Good morning Sian

I would say that in Ecuador spanish, "de tránsito" refers to "traffic", and more specifically to legal issues related to traffic accidents. In Spain, we would rather say "trafico".

Hoping this helps,

Regards,

Cris
Example sentence:

accidente de tránsito

Note from asker:
Hola Chris, and thanks for this. I think you´re right but it sounds very strange to English ears have a Criminal and Traffic Court! Bueno, cosas que pasan en Ecuador...........Muchas gracias. Sian.
