English term or phrase: private law proceedings
Hello everyone!
I am translating a children care plan and placement plan from Wales into LatAm Spanish and I encountered this term and its counterpart "public law proceeding". I looked into its definition and I think I understand what it means but I am not so sure if there is an equivalent in Spanish. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Context: "The Court made Interim Care Orders on 08.08.23 during private law proceedings and invited the Local Authority to consider issuing care proceedings. The Local Authority issued care proceedings on 24/08/23."

Definition: Private law proceedings are court cases between family members that do not involve a government agency such as children’s services. When parents cannot agree on arrangements for the care of their children, the case is dealt with as a matter of private law.
When children’s services are involved in a family’s life, as in care proceedings, then the case is heard as a matter of public law.

Is there an equivalent in Spanish? Or do you think an explanatory translation would be better?

Thank you in advance!

proceso (juicio) familiar de derecho privado civil


Explanation:
Proceedings may be in the plural in English, but in the singular in Spanish.

Civil law in English contrasts with (Anglo-American / 'Anglo-Saxon') Common Law as well as criminal law e.g. a civil vs. criminal law practice and equates more closely with private law in Spanish.

A civil-law system - not always properly understood on ProZ - means Roman civil law, such as of France, Italy and Spain, though some UK Notaries Public, esp. in London, are recognised internationally as civil-law equivalent and as 'sworn translators'.

PS I thought this was a 'Welsh law' innovation, but apparently it isn't.

Example sentence(s):
  • ¿Qué es derecho privado civil? Sintéticamente, el Derecho Civil se define como el Derecho Privado común (aplicable a la generalidad de las relaciones) y general (aplicable a todas las personas, salvo que exista una disposición especial)
  • El derecho de familia es una rama del derecho privado, por lo que también forma parte del derecho civil.

Explanation:
Private law governs interactions between individuals, and the application before a court will in the first instance be from one person against another, that is why private law proceedings belong to "Derecho Privado".
Hope this helps.
