例 20 Provided that the acceptance of rent or mesne profits by the Landlord after the expiration of the term of the tenancy hereby created shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver or breach of any of the terms hereof nor as a new periodic tenancy by way of holding over or otherwise. A new Tenancy shall only be created by a fresh tenancy agreement in writing signed by the Landlord and the Tenant. 倘若在本合约规定的租期届满后业主接受租金或中间收益﹐不应被认为是起了放弃或违背本合约的任何条件的作用﹐也不应认为是起了作为继续租用或其它的新租期的作用。新租约只能是业主和租户签署的新书面租赁合约。 * 例21 Every broker, dealer or lender who ... shall forfeit to the owner of the goods the full value thereof: Provided that no such order shall bar any such broker, dealer or lender from recovering possession of such goods by action from the person into whose possession they may come by virtue of the magistrates order, provided that such action is commenced within 6 months next after such order has been made. 每名被如此命令的经纪﹑商人或贷款人﹐如……﹐则须向物主偿付其全部价值﹕ 但上述命令并不禁止有关经纪﹑商人或贷款人向凭籍裁判官命令获得管有此等财物的人士提出诉讼﹐以取回其管有权﹐但有关诉讼须在此项命令作出后6个月内展开。 * 例 22 The Licensee shall not be entitled to take any proceedings in any of the aforesaid matters; provided, however, that the Licensor may, at its own discretion and cost, prosecute or otherwise stop or prevent such actual or threatened infringement in the name of both the Licensor and the Licensee or either of them, and in each case the Licensee shall render all reasonable assistance required by the Licensor. 被许可方无权就上述任何行为起诉或要求许可方起诉，但许可方可自行决定并自付费用，以许可方和被许可方双方名义或任何一方名义，对实际发生或似将发生的商标侵权行为提起诉讼，或以其它方式阻止或防止该等侵权行为。无论许可方采取前述任何行动，被许可方均应提供许可方所要求的一切合理协助。 * 2.8 NOTWITHSTANDING ... 介词notwithstanding 在普通英文中的使用极为罕见，可列入古旧废词的行列，但其在法律英文中的使用已经达到“司空见惯”的程度。翻译带有该介词的句子并不难，因为它的译法跟although/though/even if 引导的状语从句没有太大分别，基本上都可以译成“尽管……”、“即使…..”， 表示一种让步。 但该词所引导的并非是一个让步状语从句，因为在习惯用法上该词之后不跟句子，只跟一个名词性短语。虽然该词也可作连词使用，跟一个完整的让步状语从句，例如，He is honest, notwithstanding he is poor. (他虽贫穷，却诚实)，但这种用法并非是法律英语中的典型用法。 * 例23 Notwithstanding any law or practice to the contrary,
