Legal letter
Hello all,
I'm translating a legal letter dealing with the termination of a business relationship. The following is quoted, I believe it comes from the French Commercial Code but I can't find the English translation of this article. As far as I can tell, it's to do with central purchasing bodies and the granting of discounts for volume purchases. Sorry for the long extract, but I think it's necessary for a proper understanding. Thanks for any help!
I. - Engage la responsabilité de son auteur et l'oblige à réparer le préjudice causé le fait, par tout producteur, commerçant, industriel ou personne immatriculée au répertoire des métiers :
.......D'obtenir ou de tenter d'obtenir d'un partenaire commercial un avantage quelconque ne correspondant à aucun service commercial effectivement rendu
.....Un tel avantage peut également consister en une globalisation artificielle des chiffres d'affaires ou en une demande d'alignement sur les conditions commerciales obtenues par d'autres clients ;.

unproven turnover total
I imagine this is just another advantage solicited for an uneffectively rendered business service from a business partner, mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

artificial aggregation of turnover
So translated in this document:
http://www.internationalcompetitionnetwork.org/uploads/libra...
for an international conference on this aspect of competition law in 2008. See page 47 of the PDF.
"Aggregation" is a better word to use here than "consolidation" (with its accounting associations), especially where the adding together is *unwarranted* and involves no intragroup eliminations.
For the wider Anglosphere, though, I would avoid "turnover" in favour of "revenue", "sales" or "business volume".
