Italian term or phrase: pari al 25% maggiorato rispetto a quanto dovesse pagare all’altra parte
La violazione dei presenti patti di riservatezza comporterà una penale a carico della parte inadempiente pari al 25% maggiorato rispetto a quanto dovesse pagare all’altra parte a qualsiasi titolo, anche per eventuali danni quantificati da terzi; in via esemplificativa e non esaustiva a titolo di penali, danni, sanzioni, interessi, spese, imposte, tasse e quant’altro.

I'm not clear what this means or how to put it into legal English.

a 25% penalty on the amount due to the other party
Explanation:
You don't need to say 'at a rate', and while "maggiorato' does mean 'above', it can be expressed more simply in English as 'a 25% penalty'.

Explanation:
a qualsiasi titolo : whatsoever or howsoever.

Una penale : a sum in *liquidated damages* or a 'forfeit': Garzanti.

Better avoid the term of art of a contract penalty to keep the clause alive in Anglo-Am. contract law. Otherwise, void on the face of it : prima facie in L.atin.

dovesse vs. si dovesse : conditional or subjunctive mood, so surely has a subject, namely the defaulting party; party in breach or *non-innocent* party.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: clausola penale Redirected from: penale liquidated damages

Explanation:

Asker: Thanks Paul. Yes 'equal to' is definitely an Italianism!
