OBS

Le verbe anglais s'emploie généralement au passif sans complément d'agent; un complément d'objet indirect (personne ou chose) s'ajoute souvent. En français, le complément d'objet indirect sera normalement introduit par une locution prépositive neutre comme «à l'endroit de». Les locutions qui connotent l'avantage («au profit de», «au bénéfice de», etc.) peuvent s'employer si le contexte le justifie.

OBS

délimiter : terme normalisé par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).
