Spanish term or phrase: Podrá hacer lugar a una solicitud...
¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Quisiera saber si podrían ayudarme con esta frase:

"Podrá hacer lugar a una solicitud para que se ponga fin al proceso, lo que incluye, entre otras, una solicitud para que se desestime el reclamo y/o una solicitud para que se declare la causa de puro derecho."

Este es el párrafo en donde se encuentra dicha oración:
El Arbitraje será definitivo y vinculante para las Partes. Podrá hacer lugar a una solicitud para que se ponga fin al proceso, lo que incluye, entre otras, una solicitud para que se desestime el reclamo y/o una solicitud para que se declare la causa de puro derecho. El Árbitro deberá dictar un laudo y emitir un dictamen escrito, por lo general dentro de los treinta (30) días a partir de la fecha en que concluye la audiencia de arbitraje o en que se reciben los escritos de alegatos posteriores a la audiencia (de solicitarse), lo que ocurra más tarde. El dictamen deberá incluir los fundamentos de hecho y de derecho para el dictado del laudo.

disagree  AllegroTrans: You have misunderstood; this is basically saying "you may make a request"
54 mins
disagree  Toni Castano: You have not understood the meaning of "hacer lugar" (= "haber lugar" in European Spanish), which is "to be admissible". // "Dar lugar" does not mean "hacer/haber lugar a".
1 hr
  -> “Dar lugar” in Portuguese, I know what it means in Spanish too. This is just one possible construction.
agree  Julian Bunster: please have a look at these links and explain to them that they have made erroneous use of "request was sought"!! https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202200308739/ https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/PRO/N08/428/78/PDF...
1 hr
  -> Many thanks, Julian, for the additional clarification!
disagree  Jennifer Levey: 'It' can only refer to El Arbitraje mentioned in the previous sentence. And if the decision is definitivo y vinculante, there can be no subsequent claim or request.
4 hrs
agree  Adrian MM.: Other commentators are conflating 'arbitraje' with 'proceso' as a parallel court case //& hacer with *haber* lugar// The trial IMO is halted pending the outcome of the arb. award. This is a common scenario where a contract stipulates an arb. stop on trial

  -> Thank you, Adrian, for your clarification which strengthens my interpretation!

It is possible to submit a request


Explanation:
Creo que, en contexto, la idea que se quiere transmitir es que es posible presentar una solicitud en general. No parece que se esté refiriendo a una causa o circunstancia concreta que de lugar a que surja el derecho a presentar la solicitud.

agree  Toni Castano: This is the simplest way to go here: "Hacer lugar" (Arg. legalese): to be admissible.

  -> I agree. During the arbitration process, a request/application/petition (of the kind described above) may be declared/be made admissible. Thank you!
neutral  Jennifer Levey: Changed my mind...

Frequently there are different options to translate the same thing. Sometimes there is an exact and automatic translation, and those are happy days! Meantime, rather than rule out other options automatically it may help us to be receptive to other ideas.

neutral  AllegroTrans: You make/file/submit a request etc. but you don't "seek" a request, you seek what you are requesting (e.g. in this text, to have the claim dismissed and/or the case upheld as a question of law.)
5 mins
disagree  Jennifer Levey: In your 1st link, someone sought 'clarification', not a 'request'. 2nd link doesn't work.

It may concede/grant a petition ...


Explanation:
Podrá hacer lugar a una solicitud para que se ponga fin al proceso ...
-->
It may concede/grant a petition seeking termination of the process, ...

IOW, the arbitrator's 'final and binding decision' might be to the effect that a party's petition to have the proceedings terminated, or have the matter dealt with in a different forum, is granted. End of process.

disagree  Adrian MM.: The arbitration cannot 'entertain' an application to terminate proceedings *stayed pending the arbitral award*-> the whole civ. proc. point of the question//BTW, I spotted it is hacer vs. *haber* lugar e.g. a lo solicitado (Arg.) = grant the request, West
7 hrs
  -> You and other contributors here, are confabulating 'dar lugar', 'hacer lugar' and 'haber lugar'. And what does 'stayed pending etc.' have to do with Asker's question?

neutral  Adrian MM.: you may have been conflating the arbitraje with the proceso: the trial IMO had been stayed during the outcome of the arbitral award.// and hacer with *haber* lugar e.g. a lo solicitado (Arg.) = grant the request, West. The ST says hacer, even if a typo.
4 hrs
  -> Hi Adrian. It becomes obvious to me, judging by your opinions in this Kudoz,that you have not understood, like other commentators, what this expression actually means. // The source is correct, just Argentinian legalese. Please read again the info above.
agree  Robert Carter: Hi Toni, good reference! Small point of clarification: I believe a more accurate rendering of "haber lugar" is "to be granted" in English (as in "ha lugar la solicitud" > "the motion is granted"), rather than "to be admissible".
2 days 18 hrs
  -> Hi Robert. Good to see you here! Hacer/haber lugar a algo = algo procede, algo es procedente. I believe "to be admissible" is fine, and I personally prefer it to "to be granted", which is also fine, sure.
