French term
révocation
French to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
Management Stockholders' Agreement
I know there are a few entries for this already in the glossary but I'm not sure if revocation is the right translation in this particular context. I have translated Cession des fonctions simply as cessation of functions (not necessarily of the employment contract) and Revoquer (see below) as relieving. Under the definitions at the beginning of the Contract:
Cessation de fonction signifie la cessation de l’ensemble des fonctions exercées par un Manager en tant que salarié ou mandataire social de la Société [...] (licenciement, démission, ***révocation***, non renouvellement de mandat, décès, invalidité, retraite agréée, etc.). la cessation des fonctions doit être considérée comme ayant eu lieu :
[...]
(iii) en cas de ***révocation***, à la date de la décision de l’organe compétent de ***révoquer*** le Manager de ses fonctions de mandataire social
Thanks for any suggestions.

termination of contract
As "licenciement, démission," and non-renewal are already covered, this has to fill the gap.

Thanks Susan, the word "revocation" is certainly used in a variety of ways where one would use different words in English.
Watch the preposition: "relieve the Manager **of** his functions".

Note from asker:
I agree with you, Writeaway. In fact, I used termination of contract for revocation and "relieve the Manager from his functions" for the second. Remove would have done equally well. Rufinus, I'm sorry you disagree but the subject is the type of Cession des fonctions (i.e. through dismissal, non-renewal of contract, resignation or termination of contract) which, in my humble opinion, fits perfectly well. |

: 1 of the L.G.D.J.'s 'Dictionnaire économique et juridique' definitions seems relevant here - 'dismissal of an official'

removal
here, licenciement is dismissal. this looks like Manager is removed from his position

Reference:
It should read 'termination, resignation, removal, non-renewal of appointment, death, disability, retirement (approved)'. Licenciement is termination, or dismissal in the UK, or discharge, and refers to termination of the employment contract. 'Removal' refers to removal from a position to which one was appointed. Two different things. There is no reduncancy. 'Termination of contract' is incorrect for 'revocation', sorry.
