sorry... 'allay concerns'. Thanks for all your discussion and input, it is really helpful.

I think it would be helpful to put it up as an answer as the only other meaning offered for this on Proz is to allay fears, which is somewhat misleading imho.

I hesitated to post it as an answer because I was just confirming or agreeing with what had already been said, but I suppose posting answers is what we're here for, so OK, I will.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. The problem for me is that the meanings I found were all so different. Should have more faith in myself!!

Do you want to put that as an answer, Charles?

I'm sure you're right; it means what West says. "Desinteresar" creditors in Argentina means paying them what they are owed, and by extension it evidently means satisfying claims of other kinds.

Here's a relevant example: an agreement between a university faculty and a municipality, whereby the former provides teaching staff and the latter service personnel. It says that each party will fulfil its responsibilities as employer and hold the other party harmless from claims of its own employees against the other party. So in the case of service personnel the municipality "[se obliga] a desinteresar a cualquier persona de su dependencia, que llevare adelante un reclamo laboral contra la Facultad". See clauses 4-5 on p. 3
