English term or phrase: approved contingency
Bonjour, j'ai un doute sur le terme "approved contingency" dans la phrase "As indicated in the table, all identified costs resultant from the delay have been covered through the use of the approved X contingency..."
Est-ce que l'on peut parler d'éventualité approuvée ou existe t-il un terme plus approprié ?

Merci !

  -> " intervention approuvée"
neutral  Germaine: Certainement pas "intervention" et je doute que "plan" s'applique, mais "fonds d'urgence", "provision pour imprévus" ou "contingences" sont des possibilités.

mesures d'urgence approuvées


Explanation:
Linguee propose plusieurs options : "contingency plan">> "plan d'urgence" ; "contingency procedures" >> "procédures d'urgence", etc. La difficulté ici c'est qu'il n'y a aucun substantif associé à "contingency". Je suggère le relativement neutre "mesures". Selon le contexte vous pouvez opter pour un autre terme.

neutral  Germaine: Comme on parle de couvrir des coûts/frais ($), "fonds d'urgence approuvé[s]" pourrait être une possibilité.

(use) de mesures acceptées X soumises à des aléas


Explanation:
What is a contingent approval?

When a property is marked as contingent, an offer has been accepted by the seller. Contingent deals are still active listings because they are liable to fall out of contract if requested provisions are not met.

(covered through the use of the) approved contingency /fund/
fonds de réserve agréé pour imprévus


Explanation:
I think - pace Germaine - that contingency is being used as shorthand for contingency fund NB *covered through the use of* the approved X contingency (fund)

If these are 'identified costs', then these can be provisionnés by such a fund.

I don't think faux frais imprévus, éventualité or fait générateur - as an operative event in contract or tax - literally fits the bill and, if memory serves me right, have only ever seen 'agréé' used in this sort of context for 'approved'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Le fait générateur peut être de responsabilité délictuelle ou contractuelle.
  • S'il arrive un événement imprévu, c'est à cela que doit servir le fonds de réserve
