Arabic term or phrase: قد
"ويمتلك المحكّم القدرة على التأكد من أنه قد تم التعامل مع الطعن بالشكل المناسب وبسرعة، و تقليص الحاجة إلى تأجيل الإجراءات، وأن يتم اصدار الحكم بالشكل الصحيح وأن الحكم غير قابل للاستئناف".

may ترجمتي لها كانت كالتالي لكن كلمة
غير صحيحة هنا بهاذا المعنى "قد" هنا تعني امكانية حدوث وليس جواز. ارجو منكم المساعدة لانني حديث العهد في الترجمة القانونية الى الانجليزية

may


Explanation:
"May" is fine for the translation of قد in the second text posted in the discussion box.

You could also use "could". I understand that "may" may be ambiguous, as it could also mean "is allowed to". However, in your sentence "may attempt to" there is no way it could be understood to mean "is allowed to attempt to", in my opinion.
