GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Catalan term or phrase:Llei Qualificada
English translation:Qualified Law

Catalan to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Andorran legal system
Catalan term or phrase: Llei Qualificada
This seems to be a specifically Andorran term, the Consell de Govern passes both ordinary laws and "Lleis Qualificades". I've found Lleis Qualificades on marriage, citizenship and residency, data protection, the police, money laundering, the electoral system... but I can't see what is the difference between them and ordinary laws.

Spanish-English KudoZ gives ley cualificada => qualified law, but I'm not sure if that a meaningful expression in any English speaking jurisdiction.

I may end up just using the Catalan term in inverted commas, as this page does, but if anyone can help with some clarification of the term, I would be extremely grateful.

Asker: Thanks very much Ross for all the research - I think I'll use the Catalan and propose to the client we add a footnote explaining about the additional majority required (in this particular context brackets would look messy).
