¿Alguien me puede aclarar el sentido de la expresión "purporting to" en este párrafo? No le veo sentido a una autoridad que "supuestamente tenga jurisdicción" o que "pretenda tener jurisdicción". En todo caso tendría que estar claro si la tiene o no la tiene, ¿no?
La traducción es para España.
"Governmental Authorities means governments, regulatory authorities, governmental departments, agencies, commissions, bureaus, officials, ministers, Crown corporations, courts, bodies, boards, tribunals or dispute settlement panels or other law, rule or regulation-making organizations or entities (i) having or ***purporting to have*** jurisdiction on behalf of any nation, province, territory or state or any other geographic or political subdivision of any of them, or (ii) exercising, or entitled or ***purporting to exercise*** any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, regulatory or taxing authority or power;"

aparente tener
A lo mejor así tiene más sentido. En vez de tener que comprobar que efectivamente tiene jurisdicción bastaría con que lo aparentase.
