David Swain (asker) Oct 9, 2012:
Thanks BD Finch and Phil. You have given me an excellent answer between you.
philgoddard Oct 9, 2012:
Thanks.
David Swain (asker) Oct 9, 2012:
You're quite right, Phil. The text I'm actually translating is the minutes of the AGM of the condo. One examples is as follows:

Conformément à l'article 18-1 de la loi du 10 juillet 1965 et en application du contrat de syndic, l'Assemblée générale confirme que les honoraires de syndic pour la gestion financière, administrative et comptable des travaux faisant l'objet de la résolution précédente s'élèvent à 1.5 % HT.
philgoddard Oct 9, 2012:
Do you have the French context? I assume you're not translating the text in the link. It sounds like a management contract.

trustee's contract

trustee in this case would be the elected board member (trustee by virtue of his/her election) for the condominium association, I presume?
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : the management company/association is a trustee in one sense, but it is not the term that would normally be used

Thanks phil. I'd include "association" because it is is a syndic not an individual manager or consultant.
