Arabic term

التكييف

Arabic to English Law/Patents Law (general)
إن التكييف الذي تتباه المحكمة العليا في ذلك الحكم يتناقض مع التكييفات التي يتباها الدكتور س في مقدمة مذكرته، حيث أن الحكم كيّف العلاقة بأنها عقد وكالة في حين رأينا الدكتور س يميل إلى تكييف علاقة المدعي بشركة س على أساس أنها عقد سمسرة أو عقد مقاولة.

This is a Libyan legal document. From the context I can guess that the meaning of التكييف is "description", can anyone confirm this or suggest other translations?
Thanks

characterization

I believe the word is form the interrogative كيف, so that التكييف is supposedly the kind of discourse that answers the question كيف, but the drift of the sentence points to "characterization."
