Spanish term or phrase: estipulante
I'm a little confused with the word. Is it the person stipulating (stipulator) or the recipient of the stipulation, in which case, I don't know what the translation would be since "stipulatee" does not exist.
El contrato por persona a nombrar, “pro amico eligendo” , por virtud del cual una de las partes se reserva expresamente designar después a la persona que adquirirá retroactiva e íntegramente los derechos y las obligaciones derivadas de dicho contrato, haciendo así desaparecer totalmente al ***estipulante***, para quedar establecidas las relaciones jurídicas “ex tunc”, desde entonces, es decir, desde que se celebró el contrato, y no “ex nunc”, desde ahora o fecha en que se dio a conocer el nombre del tercero, solamente entre el promitente y el tercero designado “amicus electus”.

English translation:the stipulator
Explanation:
Yes you are correct, the stipulator is the one making the stipulation. The only way I can think of to inverse this is to say something like “to whom it was stipulated”. I did a search and could not even find the term “stipulated party or person”. I can’t see any other possible translation than “the stipulator”.

nominator of a substitute (by contract novation)


Explanation:
More contractual context needed e.g. what kind of contract this might be.

On the face of it, either party to the contract can stipulate for a substitute to 'come on the field of play': una de las partes se reserva expresamente designar después a la persona que adquirirá retroactiva e íntegramente los derechos y las obligaciones derivadas de dicho contrato.

Robb: stipulator

A 'stipulatee' might be better rendered as a 'covenantee'.

El promitente; the covenantor

Butterworths: contractor; party who stipulates ('usually in favo(u)r of third-party beneficiaries').

cf. the parties to a novation: an outgoing debtor (of performance: the *original contractor*) persuades a creditor (the client) to take on a new debtor (an *incoming contractor*) instead. 'The original debtor is thereby released from his obligations which fall one the new debtor' L.B. Curzon, Dictionary of English Law

The second ref. should read: legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/covenantor

I have no idea whence the Italian gremlin sprang.

Example sentence(s):
  • Though similar in concept to assignment, novation is fundamentally different from it. While novation is a consensual transfer of rights or obligations, assignment can transfer only obligations and does not require the consent of the benefiting party.
  • Novation terminates the original contract, but assignment does not.

Asker: Hello, unfortunately I can't give you more details because it's not a contract, it's a book about contracts, so the author is giving random examples only.
