la acción de legislar con nombre y apellido

La ley onwards.... an extension on the deadline for signing a contract with the government for use of national territory for mining exploitation purposes
philgoddard Feb 26, 2015:
Yes, I can see that, but what does the second part of the sentence mean, from "la ley" onwards?
Clifford Schisler (asker) Feb 26, 2015:
Your query Phil The idea behind this expression is the assumption that this law favoured a specific company, whereas it should take into account public interest... I get the idea of "partial legislation" instead of impartial...
philgoddard Feb 26, 2015:
I don't understand the second half of the sentence, possibly because of the lack of context.
