French term

contrat déjà confectionné

Non-PRO French to English Bus/Financial Law: Contract(s) Board meeting minutes
La délégation -- a proposé à celle de --- de lui laisser le contrat déjà confectionné afin de l’étudier en profondeur pour une suite appropriée, spécialement dans le choix du type de maintenance.

Does this mean that the contract has already been drawn up, or that the term of the contract is already completed (as in expired)?

I am a native speaker of English and a contract certainly can be prepared, though drawn up is more common in a legal context.
Gina W (asker) Nov 12, 2005:
OK, so it really just has to do with the contract being "completed", meaning made up or drawn up - not that the contract term has already been completed.

agree writeaway : I've never come across this use, but maybe it's not from France, anyway this fits the context, so why not.

Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : prepared is given by all dicos in terms of food/drawn up makes more of a legalese impression

contracts can be also prepared in advance, and seems the sense of the context.
