16 hrs confidence: 
to obtain fees, penalties, royalties etc. Explanation: Your text does leave this a bit vague. However, bear in mind that the verb "obtain" is used to cover a long list of things that might individually use a different verb and that though "charges" are usually levied and collected, licence should be allowed for the sake of economising on verbs. So, I think that "charges" should be understood broadly as charges for services, permissions, licences etc. I think it unlikely that it means charges on property, though that isn't totally impossible. You put a charge on a property, rather than obtaining a charge on a property. |

49 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2a duty, task or responsibility (or plural) Explanation: I think singular is better here though you could use plural: duties, tasks, responsibilities. That's how I understand it here since it it part of a list of things to be obtained "which the said Attorney may think desirable in the interest of the Company" In the sense of charge someone to do something for you, i.e. give them a task or responsibility (as distinct from an actual contract which comes next in the list) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-10-15 21:33:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- BTW "to obtain" is to get or to be awarded such responsibilities, duties, or tasks from the aforesaid "governments, authorities, corporations, companies or persons" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-10-15 21:34:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.thefreedictionary.com/charges -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 18 hrs (2018-10-18 14:37:45 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped. (And I really don't agree with other suggestions at all in this context) |
