French term (edited): chef
Selected

relating to / on behalf of

The ST is a variant of the expresion "dans le chef de"

l'allocation de naissance du chef de l'enfant précité
-->
birth grant relating to (or: on behalf of) the above-mentioned (or: above-named) child


IHHO, "relating to" is more suitable in this specific context.

Yet another option: "grant deriving from the birth of the above-named child".

See, for example: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/French/law_general/1069479-dans_le...

French term (edited): chef

household head

chef de famille = household head
Peer comment(s):
neutral Jennifer Levey : "la personne qui peut prétendre à l'allocation" is more likely to be the mother, who will not necessarily be the household head.
47 mins
What about the mother being the household head? Have you ever heard of single parent households?
disagree mchd : cela ne correspond pas
47 mins
chef de famille de l'enfant, est-ce incomprehensible ?
disagree writeaway : way of the mark. Asker should have posted du chef de -that's the expression/it's part of a French expression: du chef de. Not as in chef de famille
58 mins
le chef d'un enfant, n'est ce pas son chef de famille, un titre qui peut etre biologique ou non ?
disagree AbrahamS : Le "chef" n'est pas une personne ici!
