notorious negligence
This is sometimes used in International law to describe a specific form of negligent behaviour. Catagories of negligence are used to categorise the degree of culpability of a claimant in a given case.

: Notorious is a faux ami. Unfortunately, your reference document is not a native-tongue English source and does also contain other linguistic errors.

Obvious negligence
Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback
Yes 'notorious' seems mostly used in The Phillipines.
RE: 'manifest negligence'. I can not remember coming across studying UK or French law, not to discount it at all however. However be careful, manifest connotes a degree of intent, and not just a lack of due dilegence.
This French Constitutionel court does seems to reference it, check the below link.
It does strike me as a French term however. In Jane's example, the phrase could be translated as 'misconduct or obvious negligence' (on the part of the client.) This is used in the European Commision papers for example. In the above context, this would mean that the client is not covered if there was misconduct or obvious negligence on his part.
Jane on 'gross Negligence', the Official EU translation is 'négligence grave'.
Hope this helps!

: I suggest you look up "manifest" in a good dictionary. It means evident or obvious and has nothing to do with either intent or diligence. OK. Welcome to the site.

Accepted and apologies, I should kept it neutral. I am new to the site, and did so because of the official EU translation.

Gross negligence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gross negligence is a legal concept which means serious carelessness. Negligence is the opposite of diligence, or being careful. The standard of ordinary negligence is what conduct one expects from the proverbial "reasonable person". By analogy, if somebody has been grossly negligent, that means they have fallen so far below the ordinary standard of care that one can expect, to warrant the label of being "gross".
