German term or phrase: Leistungsbewirkung
I am searching for the most appropriate translation in English of the term "Leistungsbewirkung". The document is part of a court decision. See below for context:


Nach der Judikatur beeinträchtigt der Dritte das Forderungsrecht aber nicht nur, wenn er auf den schuldnerischen Leistungswillen in Richtung Vertragsbruch bzw dolosem Zusammenwirken aktiv Einfluss nimmt, sondern auch dann, wenn er in Kenntnis des fremden Forderungsrechts die schlichte Leistungsbewirkung vereitelt, wobei dazu mehrfach ausgesprochen wurde:

„Das Recht auf Leistungsbewirkung entfaltet absolute Wirkung“

Thanks in advance!

effecting of performance


Explanation:
Compare with this:
"This was superseded by what is now the prevailing doctrine:212 the theory of the reale Leistungsbewirkung (the theory of the 'real effecting of performance'). In terms of this theory, all that is required is the effecting of the Leistungserfolg (literally, a 'performance-result') through an act of performance that corresponds recognisably to what is owed."

Here's my working translation of your sentence. This topic is not my expertise per se, so I'm sure there are ways to improve the content further. Still, this should be sufficient to demonstrate whether my solution would be a good fit in this context.

"Under case law, a third party hinders a chose in action not only if it actively steers a provider's commitment to perform a service towards breach of contract or acts of bad faith but also if it, in full knowledge of the chose in action, thwarts efforts to effect the mere performance of the service...
