Spanish term

el vínculo de comitente a preposé

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Demanda en Reparación de Daños
De República Dominicana to US English

"SENTENCIA DE ABRIL DE 1998, No. 12 Considerando, ... "trabajando bajo orden y dirección del gerente o administrador de dicho empresa, en el ejercicio, regular de sus funciones, es evidente que tanto el vínculo de comitente a preposé entre ambos, así como el lazo de causalidad entre dichas faltas culposas, las cuales resultaron ser la causa eficiente y generadora de dicho accidente, y los daños y perjuicios de todo género irrogados a la persona agraviada y constituida en parte civil, han quedado establecidos, lo cual compromete la responsabilidad civil de dicho comitente..."

I think comitente here is principal: the link between the principal and the "preposé", however I'm struggling to find a good word for preposé in English. Could it be "subordinate" or "junior" ?

Many thanks!

the principal-agent nexus

The Dominican Spanish - speculatively with French influence from across the island border with Haiti - seems to have mis-spelt the French word of préposé commonly meaning an employee - 'servant ' - or agent.

Whether this text originates from such borderland is a matter for conjecture, but linguistically natural phenomenon.
