Dear English-speaking colleagues,
I am looking for the standard translation (if any) of this French legal expression. In order to help you understand the concept, please go to: http://www.dictionnaire-juridique.com/definition/subsidiaire...
Biefly, this expression refers to a "secondary" claim that the judge will examine if he/she rejects the "primary claim".
Thanks for your help!

: there is an (alternative/additional) argument (in the case) but this wouldn't be the translation used. It's just in the alternative. Copy/pasting a link is good but what is on the answer line has to fit in with the context.
