Spanish term

respondan de los POSITIVOS resultantes

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Request for International Assistance
Hi,

I'm translating a request for international assistance for a criminal case. The sentence provided below is the first in a series of requests directed towards the authorities in question:

"Que toda esta información sea remitida de modo urgente al fichero correspondiente y respondan de los POSITIVOS resultantes."

Are they simply saying here that the information be submitted to record asap? It's the last part of the sentence I'm partcularly having issues with.

Thanks for all your help in advance!

I really don't know. Because it's 'positivos' I imagine it refers to 'elementos' or 'aspectos'.

I would probably use 'positive acts', though it would depend on the rest of the text.

Omission, or failure, to act generally carries no liabilities. That means a person can only be criminally liable where they have performed a positive act.

After reading through several legal explanations I've come up with this:

"That all this information be urgently submitted to the corresponding file and that the resulting OBJECTIVE ELEMENTS be addressed".

At the bottom of page 531

Debemos tener en cuenta que en los ordenamientos penales anglosajones además de los elementos positivos del delito: actus reus y mens rea: la conducta y el state of mind, se incluyen unos elementos negativos: las defenses o defensas, cuya concurrencia en un caso particular excluye la responsabilidad penal del acusado.

'Positivos' could refer to 'elementos y aspectos positivos del delito'.

The information on page 384 of the following link might be useful.
