met with a lawsuit/met with legal action Explanation: Almost looks like Danglish to me. See the first link for Google results for the English phrase. The example sentence is one of those, at the second link. I might use "met with legal action" alternatively, see http://tinyurl.com/yc6dwns. But not "met with a legal action": http://tinyurl.com/yan4a5u Example sentence(s):

subject of a lawsuit Explanation: It looks like ordinary Danish legalese to me. This is just one of many possible formulations. Sometimes these translations should not be bound by verb to verb restrictions, and some verbs, like "mødt", might not transfer to English. |
