Swedish term or phrase: bort
Not your regular 'bort' -- had to look at this one sideways before getting an idea. Describing insurance coverage under 'Uppsåt och risktagande'

Försäkringen gäller dock om den försäkrade kan visa att vare sig den försäkrade, dess företagsledning eller arbetsledning har varit medveten eller **bort** vara medveten om skaderisken.

I've never seen this, and would say it should be **borde ha varit**

My in-house consultant says so too. Can anyone provide reference to support this suspected 'Nysvenska'?

Explanation:
This is fine. The conjugation of the verb "böra" is "böra, borde, bort". "har bort vara medveten om" is exactly right. It is perhaps a little antiquated, but correct.
