Examples from texts

Once or twice he ran counter to Moellendorff, and I could see there was no love lost between these two.

If the layout permits, a handrail should be provided along each side of a food service counter with a minimum clear floor width that is manoeuvrable by a person in a wheelchair.
Si la configuration le permet, une main courante devrait être installée de chaque côté d'un comptoir à nourriture tout en assurant une surface de plancher suffisamment grande pour permettre de manœuvrer un fauteuil roulant.

But no; the counter-order only concerns the knapsacks.

A Hadassah newsletter labeled Breira members "cheerleaders for defeatism" and warned its own members to "reject the advances of these organizations with their dogmas that run counter to Israeli security and Jewish survival."

The stolid heaviness and dull lifelessness which she had acquired from having spent fifteen years behind a counter at Marseilles seemed to melt away in the bright flame of her new-bom piety.
Son épaisseur bourgeoise, cette paix lourde acquise par quinze années de somnolence derrière un comptoir, semblait se fondre dans la flamme de sa dévotion.

The imposition of an absolute bar may exclude highly probative evidence and this runs counter to the trend in the law of evidence where flexibility is favoured over rigid rules of exclusion.
Une interdiction absolue peut entraîner l'exclusion d'éléments de preuve d'une grande valeur probante, alors que le droit de la preuve tend à privilégier la souplesse plutôt que les règles d'exclusion rigides.
"Well what d'ye want?" snarled the man behind the counter.
— Qu'est-ce que vous voulez?» grogna l'homme derrière le comptoir.

As noted by Lamer J. in Commisso, any other rule would run counter to the purposes of Part IV. 1; it is the privacy of those intercepted and not the subject-matter of conversations that is protected by Part IV. 1 of the Criminal Code.
Comme le note le juge Lamer dans l'arrêt Commisso, toute autre règle serait contraire au but recherché par la partie IV. 1; c'est l'intimité de ceux qui sont écoutés et non l'objet des conversations que protège la partie IV. 1 du Code criminel.
To claim that the price undercutting is so large that it cannot have been the cause of the injury to the Community industry would be counter intuitive.
Prétendre que la sous-cotation des prix est si importante qu'elle ne peut avoir été la cause du préjudice subi par l'industrie communautaire serait absurde.
He clapped his hands and the negro appeared, and at his nod took his place behind a little side-counter.
Il frappa dans ses mains, et le nègre le remplaça derrière un petit comptoir pratiqué à l’une des extrémités de la pièce.

Three little girls dressed in identical black dresses and white scarves clung to the slight, bespectacled man behind the counter. He charged me $75, an unthinkable price given the run-down appearance of the place, but I didn’t mind.
Trois fillettes vêtues de robes noires identiques et de foulards blancs ne quittaient pas d'une semelle le réceptionniste, lequel me réclama soixante-quinze dollars - un prix exorbitant étant donné le délabrement des lieux, mais je m'en moquais.

The three or four waiters were not able to attend to all the requirements, especially as they were hampered in their movements by the crowd purchasing fruit, bread, and cold meat at the counter.
Trois ou quatre garçons ne parvenaient pas à assurer le service, d’autant plus qu’une foule les entravait, se pressait au comptoir, achetait des fruits, des petits pains, de la viande froide.
