The flaw in CRIA's reasoning, it seems to me, is that it attributes to the choice of proxy a role which the Board did not give it.La faiblesse du raisonnement de la CRIA tient, à mon avis, au fait, qu'elle donne à la mesure de référence un rôle que la Commission ne lui a pas donné.http://www.canlii.org/en/ 12/9/2011http://www.canlii.org/en/ 12/9/2011
The gap, which the stone slab removed by Guillaume had covered, was by the very side of the pillar; it was either some natural surface flaw, or a deep fissure caused by some subsidence or settling of the soil.C’était contre le pilier même que le trou s’enfonçait, soit fêlure naturelle lézardant le terrain, soit fente profonde produite par un tassement.Zola, Emile / The Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile / Les Trois Villes - ParisLes Trois Villes - ParisZola, EmileThe Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile

Whatever she had, she seemed to survey only to pick flaws in it; but, once fairly away, there was no end to her valuation of it.Tant qu’une chose lui appartenait, elle n’en cherchait que les défauts: venait-elle à lui manquer, les éloges ne tarissaient plus.Beecher Stowe, Harriet / Uncle Tom's CabinBeecher Stowe, Harriet / La case de l'oncle TomLa case de l'oncle TomBeecher Stowe, HarrietUncle Tom's CabinBeecher Stowe, Harriet
He found that the assertion that the appellants were entitled to the remedy of damages from each defendant individually was "fundamentally flawed".Selon lui, l'affirmation que les appelants ont le droit de recouvrer auprès de chaque défendeur des dommages-intérêts est [traduction] « foncièrement défectueuse ».http://www.canlii.org/en/ 05.11.2011http://www.canlii.org/en/ 05.11.2011
The Pathfinder, simple as he was, detected these flaws in the Lieutenant's philosophy, though he was far from suspecting that they proceeded from a desire to clear the coast of Mabel's suitor.Tout simple qu’il était, Pathfinder découvrit les vices des raisonnements du lieutenant, quoiqu’il fût loin de soupçonner que Muir n’avait d’autre but que de se débarrasser d’un amant de Mabel.Cooper, James Fenimore / The Pathfinder, or, the Inland SeaCooper, James Fenimore / Le lac OntarioLe lac OntarioCooper, James FenimoreThe Pathfinder, or, the Inland SeaCooper, James Fenimore© State University of New York 1981
There is also one key area of Bill C-32, the proposed statutory damages regime, which in our view is serously flawed.À notre avis également, le rétablissement de l'équilibre du projet de loi devrait aussi passer par la modification d'un élément clé, le régime proposé de dommages-intérêts légaux qui, selon nous, est très inconvenant.©Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. 1996 - 2009.http://www.aucc.ca/ 29.05.2009

Its position is that in the circumstances, the agreements, flawed as they are, cannot be relied upon by the City as a juristic reason to keep the works and improvements without paying for them.Elle maintient que, dans les circonstances, les accords étant entachés d'une erreur, ils ne peuvent être invoqués par la Ville comme motif juridique de conserver les travaux et les améliorations sans en payer le prix.http://www.canlii.org/en/ 24.11.2011http://www.canlii.org/en/ 24.11.2011
