Hilfe - Juristisches Englisch ("may not")

Well-Known Member
Hallo Community,



ich habe folgende Frage bezüglich eines Absatzes in einem Gesetz:



What happens when the right of leasehold relates to land that forms part of a conservancy?



In such a case, the Communal Land Board must have regard to any management or utilisation

plan decided upon by the conservancy committee. If the land applied for is to be used in a

way that would defeat the objects of the management and utilisation plan, the Board may

not grant the application.




Heißt dieses may not, dass das Board den Antrag nicht bewilligen darf? Ist es so eindeutig?



Vielen Dank

J.
 
Das Board darf in diesem Falle den Antrag nicht genehmigen.



Man kann zwar auch "koennte nicht" interpretieren, aber ich glaube dass die vorhrige Begruendung (Objekt wird

Nicht gemaess Nutzungsplan gebraucht) impliziert, dass es sich um ein Verbot handelt.
 
Kann beides heißen, sowohl "permission" als auch "possibility":



Modal may, like modal must, is ambiguous between epistemic and deontic modality:



Deontic modality

Ex: She may go to school.

=> permission; e.g., she is allowed to go.



Negated

Ex: She may not go to school.

=> permission to go to school is denied.



Epistempic modality

Ex: She may be at school.

=> possibility;e.g., It is possible that she is at school.



Negated

Ex: She may not be at school.

=> There's a possibility that she is not at school.



Ex: She may be not at school, but ...

=> True, she is not at school, she's at home, but she's at home studying right now as if she were in school.



Da es sich hier um ein Gesetz handelt würde ich eher tippen, dass es sich um ein echtes Verbot handelt. So ganz eindeutig ist es aber nicht.
 
Ich würds auch so verstehen,

entweder "darf nicht"

oder "wird möglicherweise nicht",

find es realtiv zweideutig.
