Note from asker:
| What Allegro Trans. says is bothering me a little, so I am adding the following quotations from the document: 1/ "Le mandataire a les missions suivantes : Etablir la désignation et l'origine de propriété de l'immeuble, fixer l'époque d'entrée en jouissance." 2/ "Le constituant déclare ne pas avoir d’impôt sur la plus-value à payer, les éléments de calcul ayant abouti à l’absence de plus-values étant les suivants : prix d'acquisition supérieur au prix de cession..." Is it OK to use 'principal' in both contexts? |

Comment: "Many thanks for your answers. Having progressed in my translation of the document, it is now evident to me that 'principal' fits the bill nicely."

The translation of two terms is needed, rather than of one.
One problem with 'Principal' is that - further down the line - it often goes on to be mis-spelt 'Principle', not only by the UK tabloid press but also by UK legal bodies that shall remain nameless.
Donor of the power used to be English law school-speak for the Principal vs. Attorney-in-Fact vs. at Law.

Example sentence:
ProZ: I have a translation of a power of attorney into spanish, and the phrase "donor of power of attorney" has me confused, could it be in spanish "otorgante de dicho poder"??

: "the grantor or the donor": definitely not "client", no problem with "principal", we must assume that a competent drafter knows how to spell the word and doesn't learn from the Daily Mail
