COLLATERAL adj.

Obs. : Attention à ce « faux ami » qu’il ne faut pas confondre avec l’adjectif français collatéral, qui n’est employé qu’en droit successoral, pour désigner les membres de la famille qui descendent d’un ancêtre commun (parents collatéraux, appelés aussi collatéraux ou parents en ligne collatérale, héritier collatéral).

secondaire (question)
accessoire (sûreté, garantie, cautionnement, question, obligation, droit, négligence, prêt, avantage)
incident (fait, question, procédure, instance)
concomitant (circonstance)
subsidiaire (promesse, effet de commerce, dommages, dégâts)
indirect (dommages, dégâts)

collatéral (parent, héritier)
en ligne collatérale

Phraséologie :
collateral assignment = dation en garantie / transfert en garantie / mise en gage
collateral damage = dommages non intentionnels / dommages indirects / dégâts subsidiaire
collateral security = sûreté
