levée de la déchéance
Relief against forfeiture is a legal principle that allows someone to get back a possession or right that they forfeited, typically due to a breach of contract or failure to meet an obligation. It's a form of equitable relief, meaning a judge has discretion to grant it based on fairness and what's just in a particular situation.
Example sentence:
The tenant applied for relief against forfeiture after they were able to pay all the outstanding rent.
The landlord argued that the severity of the breach meant the tenant shouldn't be entitled to relief against forfeiture.
