Bus/Financial - Law (general) / Buying/selling land
French term or phrase: sans recours contre
Hi all, I'm not sure about 'recours' in the context below. Does it mean 'without bringing legal action against...' or is it simply 'without an appeal to...'.Thanks for any help.

Il est ici indiqué que le terrain objet des présentes est actuellement classé inconstructible, ce dont le BENEFICIAIRE déclare être parfaitement informé.
Il déclare vouloir faire son affaire personnelle du reclassement du terrain en zone constructible le tout sans recours ni contre le PROMETTANT ni le Notaire soussigne.

It is herein stated that the land covered by this agreement is currently classed as non-buildable, a fact of which the PURCHASER states he is perfectly aware.
He states that he wants to personally arrange for the change of classification of the land into a buildable area, without any legal action against either the SELLER or the undersigned NOTARY.
Thanks again!

without any (right of legal) redress against
Explanation:
The parties are Purchaser and Vendor vs. Buyer and Seller (the new E&W Law Society Standard vs. the ex-National Conds. of Sale of Land), plus IMO the asker has got them the right way round for a 'Preliminary Agreement to Buy and Sell':

Le Bénéficiaire > Grantee of the Option to Buy, so the Prospective Buyer vs. Le Promettant > Grantor thereof, so the Prospective Seller and see the first web ref. of Promettant-Acheteur that reverses the scenario.

Note UK conveyancing of land practice (e.g. registration of Options to Buy or previosuly (20 years ago) to Purchase as registrable Estate Contracts)

Otherwise, routine callers for references for redress ought to be familiar with the term anyway.

and forgoes the right to any recourse/remedy against


Explanation:
This seems straightforward, and there are a million ways to put it (well, a lot).

The French expression is rather absurdly elliptic though, to my way of thinking, and there is no harm spelling it out when you put it in English.

agree  Ben Gaia
1 hr
  -> Thanks
neutral  AllegroTrans: "forgoes" (even if implied) is over-translation
4 hrs
  -> Really? Even the FR finds it has to put "le tout" to make the subclause less "bald". I defer to Adrian MM's expertise however.
neutral  B D Finch: Better not to insert "forgoes", because that could imply that there was a right to redress in the first place, which the seller and their notary would probably argue that there had not been.
18 hrs
  -> I'm probably flogging a dead horse. That possibility is addressed through use of "any" but it should have been "any right"...

agree  Tony M: "That's the way to do it!"
8 mins
  -> Thanks, Tony - also for using my 'bog-standard' and 'vernacular' favourite words..
agree  Mpoma: yes, "right of redress" is nice. I just think (as I said) that the French expression is more elliptical than you'd normally get in EN.
15 mins
  -> 'No redress' - also elliptical as it is in ENG - is stock legal & insurance www.definitions.net/definition/redress as used by one of my prof. musician-cum-street busker brothers who had taken A-level ENG law & complains about his music students' no-show.
agree  AllegroTrans: yep
