Can anyone paraphrase this phrase?
Hi guys,

I'm doing a translation lecture and having a problem translating a legal contract.

If you don't know how to explain in Korean which is my mother tongue, fine.

I'll be really delighted if you paraphrase this sentece or explain easily so that the non-native speaker, whose English is really lousy, can understand.

Here's the contract.

The First Party, at any time, at its absolute discretion and without default from the Second Party, if such measure is required by the public interest, may terminate the Contract.

In this context, what does 'without default from the Second Party' mean?

Thank you again.

Cheers

Answer

without default from the Second Party' = even if the Second Party has done nothing wrong.

If you have a professional budget from your client for ad hoc legal English language support, I'd be happy to oblige.  I do this for other clients.
