QUÉ SIGNIFICA PRETEXT EN INGLÉS

Pretexto

Pretext

Un pretexto es una excusa para hacer algo o decir algo que no es exacto. Los pretextos pueden basarse en una verdad a medias o desarrollarse en el contexto de una invención engañosa. Los pretextos se han utilizado para ocultar el verdadero propósito o racionalidad detrás de las acciones y las palabras. En la ley estadounidense, un pretexto suele describir razones falsas que ocultan las verdaderas intenciones o motivaciones de una acción legal. Si una parte puede establecer una presunción prima facie para la evidencia ofrecida, la parte contraria debe probar que estas razones eran "pretextuales" o falsas. Esto puede lograrse demostrando directamente que las motivaciones detrás de la presentación de la evidencia son falsas, o indirectamente por la evidencia de que las motivaciones no son "creíbles". En Griffith v. Schnitzer, un caso de discriminación en el empleo, una sentencia del jurado fue revocada por una Corte de Apelaciones porque las pruebas no eran suficientes para que las razones del acusado fueran "pretextuales". Es decir, la evidencia del acusado era indiscutible, o la del demandante era "evaluaciones subjetivas irrelevantes y opiniones".

A pretext is an excuse to do something or say something that is not accurate. Pretexts may be based on a half-truth or developed in the context of a misleading fabrication. Pretexts have been used to conceal the true purpose or rationale behind actions and words. In US law, a pretext usually describes false reasons that hide the true intentions or motivations for a legal action. If a party can establish a prima facie case for the proffered evidence, the opposing party must prove that the these reasons were "pretextual" or false. This can be accomplished by directly demonstrating that the motivations behind the presentation of evidence is false, or indirectly by evidence that the motivations are not "credible". In Griffith v. Schnitzer, an employment discrimination case, a jury award was reversed by a Court of Appeals because the evidence was not sufficient that the defendant's reasons were "pretextual". That is, the defendant's evidence was either undisputed, or the plaintiff's was "irrelevant subjective assessments and opinions".
