English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general)
English term or phrase: sensitive material
The 1996 Act, reproducing the common law, makes the court, not the prosecutor, the arbiter of what may be withheld from disclosure on the ground of the public interest or, as the 1996 Act Code of Practice describes and lists it, “sensitive material”

¿se podría traducir por documentos clasificados?

Spanish translation:documentación confidencial
Explanation:
Even though "material" is in singular in the source, it should be translated in plural. In legal language, "documentación" sounds much better than "documentos".

agree  Charles Davis: Podía haber dicho "confidential". Creo que "delicado" refleja a la perfección las connotaciones específicas de "sensitive".

  -> Gracias, Charles.
neutral  Carl Stoll: Charles Davis tiene razón en lo que concierne la semántica pura. Sin embargo, atendiendo al uso cotidiano del término "sensitive", la traducción acertada es "confidencial".
