Remarks about the translation
I researched this term on the internet and saw got some references but they did not interpret the expression. I am a 72 year old attorney in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, USA. I would like an interpretation and explanation of the use of this term if that is permissable. Thanks

Sorry, I thought I had already explained my point of view.
I think the verb "to delegate" could fit better the meaning of "allegare".
