circumstantially

This is what I believe it would mean in this context. Because, even though we have the word "circunstancial", since "hecho" means "fact" or "event'", and the literal translation would be "without the facts themselves" or "without the event themselves", in this context it would make sense to state:

That liability legally specified circumstancially ...

lacking proper fact

I believe this is actually "proper fact", both literally and properly translated. Basicly, in many Latin American countries Hechos (Facts) are not always such. For instance:

ORIGINAL:

"El Hecho Siete, por no ser un hecho propio, sinó especulaciones de la contraria, no puedo ni afirmarlo no negarlo."

TRANSLATION:

"Fact Seven, as it is not proper fact, but rather the counterparty’s speculation, I can neither confirm nor deny it."


In the case of your example, it should be as follows:

ORIGINAL:

"Aquella responsabilidad determinada legalmente sin hecho propio que constituya deliberada infraccion del orden juridica ni intencion de quebranto del patrimonio ni de los derechos ajenos."

TRANSLATION:

"Such legally-determined liability lacking proper fact, which constitutes a deliberate violation of the court order, or lacking intention to split the estate or third-party rights."

Circumstancially [sic] as properly defined does not fit here in any way:

1. of pertaining to, or derived from circumstances: a circumstantial result.
2. of the nature of a circumstance; secondary; incidental: of circumstantial importance.
3. dealing with or giving circumstances; detailed; particular: a circumstantial report of a business conference.
4. pertaining to conditions of material welfare.
