Italian term

comprovata ed evidente negligenza

Italian to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
In a corporate document, as in the sentence: "In caso di comprovata ed evidente negligenza nella custodia dei beni, il dipendente..." I know negligence generally collocates with gross, but I fear it is a slightly different concept here. Would proven negligence be used?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

clear and proven negligence

I quote from the site noted below,
"In order for negligence to be proven in court, four conditions must be met:
It must be clear that there was a duty to act
It must be proven that there was a failure of the duty to act
It must be proven that this failure was the proximate (direct) cause
And it must be proven that harm was caused. (No harm, no foul, so to speak.)"

agree philgoddard : This is more concise than the two previous answers, and has a better rhythm.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, that was quite accurate, although I still think gross negligence is the formulaic expression to use."

evident and established negligence

It means that the negligence has to be evident, apparent etc. and that it must be proven (not simply alleged).
