I am translating 'constituant' as 'principal', but looking at previous kudoz entries I am unsure how to translate 'mandataire special'. 'Agent'? ('special agent' can't be right... 'authorised agent'?). 'Special representative'?
I need the British/English (not US/Scottish) term. Thank you!

French term (edited):
mandataire special
Selected
agent with special/limited powers
This is a special power of attorney permitting the agent to perform specified acts only (as opposed to a general power of attorney permitting the agent to make all business decisions).
In your case, what the agent can do is sell the property (and maybe there is something else that we are not aware of).
Usually, the one who is authorised to act is called an agent.

mandataire special
attorney
"...appoints any clerk of the notaries' office as attorney for the specific purposes set out below..."
(in English, it is the purposes of the power that are specific, and not the attorney that is "special" - I think that the end result is the same)

Hasn't special got an accent on it? Make searching very difficult without.

Just make sure - whichever answer you choose - any glossary entry includes the accent to facilitate a future search, unless adopting a Portuguese revolutionary, working-class no-accent approach!

Example sentence:
Noun 1. general agent - someone authorized to transact every kind of business for the ... special agent - someone whose authority is limited
Note from asker:
| you are quite right, there should be an accent on 'spécial'. There is a typo in my source text and I just copied it out automatically. Do you know if there is a way for me to edit the term ? Thanks |
