Conventional investigation / tortious investigation Explanation: https://www.wordreference.com/gren/συμβατικός https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=8Zu-XdubH4vjkgXIj4KwB... The Oxford Greek>English dictionary defines εξέταση to mean examination, investigation, inquiry, tc. The Stamelos-Hatzimanoli Dictionary of Legal Terms defines αδικοπρακτικός to mean tortious, tortuous or delicit. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=vKC-Xb_-IMz1kwWCl7bQC... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2019-11-03 10:01:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Please also see: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNR6wMF7Tjq6fu85Sdfz... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2019-11-03 10:27:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, my answer should have been 'conventional / tortious investigation' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2019-11-03 11:17:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Stamelos-Xatzimanoli Dictionary of Legal Terms also gives ‘tortuous’ as an alternative meaning of ‘αδικοπρακτικός’. Although both ‘tortious’ and ‘tortuous’ stem from the same Latin word torquere ( https://www.dailywritingtips.com/tortuous-torturous-and-tort... ), the words have different meanings in English. ‘Tortious’ means ‘implying or involving or relating to a tort’, whereas ‘tortuous’ means ‘twisting’ or ‘winding’ or ‘very complex’. Although you will find many examples of ‘tortuous investigation’ or ‘tortuous examination’ on the Internet, I personally think that the Stamelos-Xatzimanoli Dictionary of Legal Terms is probably incorrect in believing that ‘tortuous’ is an alternative interpretation of ‘αδικοπρακτικός’ because, in my opinion, ‘αδικοπρακτικός’ is simply the adjectival form of ‘αδικοπραξία’. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 10 hrs (2019-11-04 07:31:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- it is probably safer and better to translate ‘αδικοπρακτική’ as ‘tort-related’ rather than ‘tortious’ because some dictionaries define ‘tortious’ only to mean ‘wrongful’ or ‘punishable as a tort’, although most do include ‘related or pertaining to a tort’ amongst its meanings. See: https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/torti... https://www.dictionary.com/browse/tortious https://www.yourdictionary.com/tortious https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tortiou... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tortious Also see: https://www.wordreference.com/gren/συμβατικός https://www.wordreference.com/engr/investigation https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=gMy_XYb0FY_6kwWgoIj4A...
