Hebrew term

אליבא דמלומדים

Hebrew to English Law/Patents Law (general) פסיקה
Dear All!
What is the English for

אליבא דמלומדים

לפי הטענה, להטיל סייגים או להתוות תחומים על כוחו של השר לפי סעיף 18 לחוק וכל שיקול מדיני, בין פנימי ובין זה שמקורו ביחסי-חוץ וכל שיקול הומניטרי הוא בגדר שיקול לגיטימי, שהרי מדובר אליבא דמלומדים רבים, במישור שתואר כאקסטרה-נורמטיבי

Many thanks in advance

According to scholars

This is a straightforward Aramaic phrasing. Basically, "aliba dsomeone" means "according to someone." You could have אליבא דשמשון (according to Samson), אליבא דדלילה (according to Delilah), אליבא דרבנן (according to rabbinical decisions), אליבא דכולי עלמא (according to everyone).

Nota bene: there is a common transcription error relating to this in Hebrew, where people will put an apostrophe after the ד - making it typographically similar to French usage. This would be incorrect for Hebrew and Aramaic, where the ד- prefix is equivalent to the Modern Israeli Hebrew prefix ש-.
