Swedish term

centrum för sina intressen

Swedish to English Law/Patents Law (general) custody law
it is a case of a parent moving to another country with a child they have custody over

... avsåg att etablera sig och för en överskådlig tid ha centrum för sina intressen där
...har önskat att etablera centrum för sina intressen i denna medlemstat

I understand the meaning, was just wondering if there is a special term for this in English.

Christopher Schröder Mar 3, 2017:
What on earth is a centre for your interests in either language????
George Hopkins Mar 3, 2017:
Sina Some Swedish words are a bit tricky. One way of getting round sin, sitt and den is to remember that 'he' refers to either male or female unless it is clear in the text which is being referred to (Collins).
Thomas Johansson Mar 3, 2017:
It's not idiomatic Swedish. It's a calque from the English phrase "centre of his interests"...

"Interest" definition

A legal definition for "center of interest" has proven elusive for this searcher, but focusing on the term "interest" alone has yielded the following result: interest can apply in a financial context, as in an amount charged to someone who borrows money, or in a property context, as in "a right, title or estate to personal or real property." In the context of a legal case: "INTEREST, evidence. The benefit which a person has in the matter about to be decided and which is in issue between the parties."
