Spanish term or phrase: situados en su periferia
I haven't found a direct link to this paragraph, but there are several Word documents containing this paragraph online.

"Si la misión del intérprete, por consiguiente, es la de recrear la voluntad de los extremos de la relación contractual, su laborío debe circunscribirse, únicamente, a la consecución prudente y reflexiva del aludido logro, en orden a que su valoración, de índole reconstructiva, no eclipse el querer de los convencionistas , y lo que es más importante, no conduzca a su suplantación, toda vez que ello es lo que desventuradamente hacen algunos juzgadores, quienes enarbolando la bandera hermenéutica, terminan invadiendo la órbita negocial, al punto de que en veces, mutatis mutandis, parecen fungir más como contratantes que como intérpretes del contrato, esto es, como invariablemente debe tener lugar, ***situados en su periferia***."

Your suggestions are appreciated.

English translation:peripherally/tangentially involved in it
Explanation:
I find the whole thing difficult to follow, too, but I think I get the gist. The "intérpretes" are judges or legal writers, I'm not sure which, and it says that they act more like parties to the contract than independent observers.

peripheral to them/outside their scope


Explanation:
My attempt
Seems to be saying that some interpreters in contract disputes overstep the mark and iinterpret the meaning of the contract instead of what the parties are saying. All this is said in very flowery language!

lying > located at its edges of contract privity


Explanation:
Indeed, lying is unfortunately ambiguous for mendacity and surely this is interpreting, so 'construing' of the contract rather than court or onsite interpreting / 'oral translation' - that some of us may be familiar with - of a litigation file.

Distinguish privity of contract as in first-year ENG contract-law studies vs. estate /landlord and tenant/ and of consderation / who paid whom and what/.

Example sentence(s):
  • Share Economy and the Edges of Contract Law . Professor Storme discussed contractual privity in the share economy.
