Legal Usage of Opportunity in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Opportunity:’Opportunity’ does not mean ‘the character of that which is opportune’ (I am translating verbatim from a French dictionary). The English dictionary definition of opportunity is ‘a favourable or advantageous circumstance or occasion or time’ (as in ‘I take the opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas.’).

Example

‘The Court questioned the opportunity of introducing these measures in such an uncertain economic climate129.’

Alternatives

advisability, whether it was advisable to, whether it would be opportune to.
