Spanish term

riesgo del propietario

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
From a machinery lease agreement:

Será por cuenta de XXXXX el mantenimiento de los elementos esenciales de las máquinas, que afecten esencialmente al funcionamiento de los equipos, así como las averías que afecten a los mismos.

Se entenderá por elementos esenciales los siguientes: motor, transmisión, convertidor, diferencial y alternador .
También será de su cuenta, el riesgo del propietario.

(XXXXX is the lessor here)

As I understand it, the lessor will be responsible for ownership risk, the thing is I'm not sure that makes sense, it seems to be saying that the owner is responsible for owner or something similarly tautological.

Is this a case of clumsy wording, in which case what would you say it's trying to express?

Discussion

Adrian MM. May 12, 2022:
arrendador @ William P. OK, William. As surmised by María M., I wonder whether there is a finance company in there as the true 'empresa proprietaria' and the arrendador is a 'sub-owner'. So now: 'the Lessor / Leasing(-Out) Company shall also bear the proprietary risk.'
William Pairman (asker) May 12, 2022:
Thanks Adrian... but I assure you that XXXXX is the lessor, not the lessee
María M. Hernández S. May 12, 2022:
Es posible que la empresa XXX sea el arrendador, pero no el propietario? En tal caso, como intermediario, asumiría la responsabilidad de cualquier riesgo que la transacción pueda suponer para el propietario. Es lo que entendería yo
William Pairman (asker) May 12, 2022:
Should read... "the owner is responsible for ownership"

proprietary, occupier's-type risk; (premises) occupier's liability

(XXXXX is the lessor here ) - you mean the lessee, previously known as hirer.

También será de su cuenta, el riesgo del propietario : The Lessee shall also bear the proprietary risk (premises: occupier's liability -> the machine explodes and injures the operator or another bystander : the lessee takes the rap for the owner : premises > approx. the freeholder, courtesy of our English land law protestors).

So no comment otherwise on the standard of Spanish legal drafting.
Example sentence:

Occupiers' liability is a field of tort law, codified in statute, which concerns the duty of care owed by those who occupy *real property*, through ownership or lease, to people who visit or trespass.

Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : the owner may well be an occupier but it does not say so in the ST; why make assumptions and complicate things? freeholder? In Spain? I have reluctantly to agree with AB on how you convolute and produce confusion

OT alias AB has failed to make the owner's risk connection with the wide range of DE-type tort of occupier's liab. : Verkehrs-sicherungs-pflicht https://www.thompsons.law/news/news-archive/law-bulletin-apr...
disagree Andrew Bramhall : Confused and convoluted and a contradiction in terms.//No need to do it 'reluctantly', Allegro; it all stems from AMM's " linguistic narcissism" which precludes him from taking an objective view of situations.

I expect informed debate of the widening of tort in English law - that you have never studied- to occupier's liability for leased plant & equipment https://www.thompsons.law/news/news-archive/law-bulletin-apr...

ownership risk

It is possible for the lessor to retain the ownership during the term of the lease under certain types of leases.

An operating lease is treated like renting—lease payments are considered as operating expenses. Assets being leased are not recorded on the company's balance sheet; they are expensed on the income statement. So, they affect both operating and net income. Other characteristics include:

Ownership: Retained by the lessor during and after the lease term.
Bargain purchase option: Cannot contain a bargain purchase option.
Term: Less than 75% of the asset’s estimated economic life.
Present value: PV of lease payments is less than 90% of the asset's fair market value.
Accounting: No ownership risk. Payments are considered as operating expenses; shown in the profit and loss statement (P&L) on the balance sheet.
Tax: Lessee considered to be renting; lease payment treated as a rental expense.
Risks/benefits: Right to use only. Risks/benefits remain with the lessor. Lessee pays maintenance costs.2

In contrast, a capital lease is more like a long-term loan, or ownership. The asset is treated as being owned by the lessee and is recorded on the balance sheet.
