This - obviously - is a reference to a Law or Act of Parliament or whatever.
An advertiser is limiting his/her obligations under the Act - right? "...nous ne sommes tenus à aucune "obligation de résultats" (Arrêt Cour d'Appel/Grasse, mai 97).
What's the best English terminology for the stuff in brackets? Thanks as always for help rendered.

: Yes, and yes to all of the comments. The Revolutionnaires would all turn in their graves if you said "decree" though (French courts are expressly forbidden from making "arrêts de règlement", an Ancien Régime thing...)

a ruling
http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="appeals court" ruling&m...
but as the decision quoted is a landmark one, perhaps \"precedent\" is best?
