English term or phrase: licence
Context:

"the prospective applicant or all of the prospective respondents cannot attend a MIAM because he or she is, or they are, as the case may be (i) in prison or any other institution in which he or she is or they are required to be detained; (ii) subject to conditions of bail that prevent contact with the other person; or (iii) subject to a licence with a prohibited contact requirement in relation to the other person."

French translation:liberté conditionnelle/libération conditionnelle
Explanation:
In this context, "subject to a license" means released from prison subject to certain conditions. In other words, liberté conditionnelle (also known as "probation" in Quebec, and in English). A person "subject to a licence" is "mis(e) en liberté conditionnelle."

Here's something about licenses and license conditions (spelled licence in UK EN):

"If the Probation Service assesses that standard conditions are not sufficient to manage a prisoner’s risk when they are released into the community they will consider using additional licence conditions.... The additional conditions include the following:
- Prohibited contact requirement"

Yves' text is talking about people who cannot attend family-law mediation sessions (MIAM: https://www.familymediationcouncil.org.uk/family-mediation/a... because either they are in prison at the time, or they're prohibited from contacting the person with whom mediation would normally be held (e.g. their ex-wife).

agree  Daryo: of course, that would go in the same list with "being otherwise engaged" in Her Majesty's holiday camps or "being on bail" as a good excuse for being absent ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_on_licence
