Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): abe(L)solano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

AllegroTrans Jun 5, 2023:
Nor have I ever seen "precautionary measures" used in England - where I worked in the courts. We need to see exactly how "medidas cautelares" appears in the source text, otherwise we will only be guessing. Asker?
Nikolaj Widenmann Jun 5, 2023:
Context needed I echo AllegreTrans's request for more context and intended target audience. For example, while "precautionary measure" is often used as a translation, but I have never heard that term in court -- and I interpret in federal court in the U.S. several times weekly. One phrase I often hear references "conditions or combination of conditions that would reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant". But it would depend on the target audience and exactly how "medidas cautelares" appears in your source text.
AllegroTrans Jun 5, 2023:
Asker Could you please post at least one sentence containing the term, from your document
Also please tell us what is your target audience (USA, Canada, GB etc. etc.)

Spanish term (edited): medida cautelar (medidas cautelares)

[crim.] judicial direction to ensure compliance/self-surrender [civ.] (forms of) interloc. relief

It would help if, as intimated by the Discussion Entrants (Scots: Intrants), more context surrounding the type of court-imposed conditions, orders or *directions* were provided: feasibly, a bench warrant in a criminal case > quaere: preventive measure..

Precautionary measure(s) - hilariously confusable with methods of contraception - strike(s) me as non-standard and Spanglish and Franglais etc.

On the civil variety of relief, I will leave our 'Plain Legal English' regulars to explain the difference between interlocutory and interim injunctions - there *is* a distinction, albeit lost on Bar Exam leacturers, and one I have explained on ProZ heretofore.
Example sentence:

IATE: LAW COM es medida cautelar Consilium en interim relief

A bench warrant means a judge has issued an order for a defendant's arrest.

Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : Asker says it's criminal law, so simply "judicial direction to ensure compliance" appears to work generically (see list posted in my ref.)

Medidas cautelares
Derecho Procesal

Las medidas cautelares son, como su nombre lo dice, las medidas que toma una autoridad dentro de un procedimiento penal para asegurar bienes o pruebas, mantener ciertas situaciones sin alterar, para evitar posibles daños al interés general o también para evitar posibles daños al interés general o al patrimonio del Estado, para proteger personas, para garantizar la reparación del daño o para evitar que los acusados se den a la fuga, aunque de acuerdo a la ley estas se dictan para: asegurar la presencia del acusado en el juicio, mantener seguras a las víctimas, ofendidos y testigos, y evitar la obstaculización del juicio (artículo 153 del Código Penal Federal). Estas se ordenan una vez iniciado el juicio contra el acusado (artículo 154 del Código Penal Federal).
¿Cuáles son las medidas cautelares?

El artículo 155 del Código Nacional del Procedimientos Penales establece 14 medidas cautelares distintas, estas son:

La presentación ante el juez cada cierto tiempo o ante otra autoridad que este designe.
El pago de una garantía económica.
Un embargo.
El congelamiento de cuentas bancarias y otros valores que formen parte del sistema financiero (acciones/bonos).
Que se prohíba al acusado abandonar cierta área geográfica.
La orden de someterse al cuidado de una persona o institución determinada.
La prohibición de ir a ciertos lugares.
La prohibición de tener contacto con ciertas personas incluyendo a víctimas, ofendidos y testigos.
Ser retirado de su domicilio.
Suspensión de su empleo si fuere un servidor público.
Suspensión de su profesión u oficio.
La colocación de localizadores electrónicos.
El tener que permanecer en su domicilio.
La prisión preventiva.

Consecuencias de desobedecer las medidas cautelares

Si existiera incumplimiento de alguna de las medidas que no sean la prisión preventiva y el pago de la garantía, la primera consecuencia será la revisión por parte de la autoridad judicial de las medidas cautelares impuestas.

Ahora que si se trata de las que consisten en la prohibición de salir de una área geográfica determinada, o de la prohibición de acercarse a personas, o lugares, la separación del domicilio, la colocación de un dispositivo electrónico o el resguardo domiciliario, la consecuencia inmediata será el arresto del acusado.
Las medidas cautelares fuera del Derecho Penal

Esta figura no es exclusiva del Derecho Penal, pues como puede verse existe en diversos ordenamiento como en la materia Civil donde se les denomina medidas precautorias y son reguladas por el artículo 610 del Código de Procedimientos Civiles Federal, o en la materia de responsabilidad administrativa por ejemplo en la Ley General de Responsabilidades Administrativas que las regula en su Título Segundo, Capítulo I, Sección Tercera.
