On peut poser en principe que le mot échappatoire est le meilleur équivalent du terme «loophole». Toutefois, quand, dans un contexte donné, le rédacteur insiste sur les faiblesses de structure d'une loi, d'un règlement, etc., il faudra avoir recours à une expression plus proche de la réalité décrite. Ce sera, soit un terme abstrait tel que carence, déficience, lacune, soit un terme concret employé au figuré, tel que brèche, fuite, faille, fissure. 5, record 2, French, - porte%20de%20sortie
