AllegroTrans Mar 11, 2022:
Several possibilities Basis/rationale/reason/justification
"Justification" could also be referring to text justification, i.e. alignment
As you will not share anything more, we can only make guesses
Alisa Newman Mar 11, 2022:
I like your initial idea of "Rationale for the Paragraph"
philgoddard Mar 10, 2022:
As long as you don't mention any names, you're not giving away any secrets. We don't know who the document belongs to.
CVD2008 (asker) Mar 10, 2022:
I am sorry but I cannot share the text as it is a highly confidential document. I have provided as much context as possible. Thanks a lot.
philgoddard Mar 10, 2022:
I meant the actual Spanish words that you're translating. What does it say before and after this phrase?
CVD2008 (asker) Mar 10, 2022:
Yes, it has nothing to do with the layout. The content of the paragraph, following the title 'Justificación del párrafo' is about comments/remarks related to documents for a meeting.
philgoddard Mar 10, 2022:
Please could we have the context. What does the Spanish say?

I'm assuming this is nothing to do with justification as in layout.

Thank you!
agree AllegroTrans : I agree with Phil, but this may be "justification of the paragraph", i.e. referring to text alignment. But asker won't share any more context...

raison d'être of the subclause

Whilst unsure of the surrounding context, I wondering whether paragraph isn't a false friend here, párrafo often meaning - 'as everyone knows' - a subclause in a statute section or contract.
