Business/Commerce (general)
I am stuck with the phrase 'en la faz de su competencia' - full sentence: 'Se remiten los presentes actuados para su intervención en la faz de su competencia,'
It's part of an import/export license.
My attempt feels too literal:
'These documents are sent for your intervention in the face of your competence...'
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

en la faz de su competencia = "... as this falls within your purview / prerogative / remit" or "in light of this falling ..."
I also wonder if "prerogative" might not also be useful in this context.

given his competence
His intervention is justified by his competence

: This sounds like "because he is capable and experienced" and it doesn't work; "comptencia/competence" can amount to false friends // because it suggests "capability" especially with your "given his" wording

in the liight -of your authority
Despite constant appeals for more context, further disclosure again might well be in breach of agency and end-client confidentiality.
'These records drawn up are being forwarded for your action/ing in the light > within the ostensible bounds - of your authority' -> OK, factor in remit or purview.

Example sentence:
Ostensible authority (also referred to as apparent authority) is a category of legal relationship between a principal and an agent.

: "in those matters within your remit" is an English-sounding phrase, unlike anything that includes the word "competence"

: Couldn't it mean 'where within your competence/remit'? I'm not sure we have enough context to know exactly what this phrase means.

I've seen this a few times, and it means "as this falls within your competence/authority" or similar.

Competence is clearer in terms of the authority to deal with a matter. / No, 'as they are/as they fall' within your competence is standard legal terminology.
