Law/Patents - Law (general) / Jugement
English term or phrase: starting point
Bonjour à tous.
Je connais bien évidemment la traduction de starting point mais ne veux pas me tromper sur son utilisation dans ce contexte.
Il s'agit d'un jugement rendu par une Cour Royale.

Exemple :
The Court of Appeal proposed an appropriate starting point in drug cases as a minimum xxx years' emprisonment.
Plus loin...
We agree that the starting point of xxx years proposed by the Crown is appropriate... so we impose a sentence of xxx years.
ou bien
We have mitigating circumstances, so we sentence you to a period of xxx years' imprisonment.

J'opte pour base de départ/point de départ (pour le calcule de la peine) et non pas pour une peine plancher (qui se traduit d'ailleurs autrement).
Pouvez-vous m'éclairer ? Merci beaucoup,

Cécile

peine initiale


Explanation:
Pourquoi ne pas parler d'une peine initiale dans le sens suivant : La cour d'appel a proposé une peine initiale d'un minimum de X ans de prison pour les affaires liées/se rapportant à la drogue. Ce n'est qu'un avis, libre à vous de me corriger.

Merci
