Legal Usage of Respect (to Respect/respect) in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Respect (to Respect/respect):The most common meaning of the verb ‘to respect’ is ‘to show deferential regard for’. It can also mean ‘to avoid violation of’ (rules, for example), but with this meaning it is over-used in European Union texts and often in a grammatically awkward manner. The example below should read: ‘ensure respect for property rights’.

Example

‘The existence and implementation of a coherent, effective and transparent set of laws which ensure the respect of property rights and the operation of a functioning bankruptcy regime143.’

Alternatives

comply with, adhere to, meet (a deadline), compliance with.
