Hi, I've never come across proiettato in this sense. Is there a term asides from projected for this in English legalese? Thanks in advance
(il tribunale) si sarebbe proiettato in merito ed avrebbe smentito la sua stessa premessa di rispetto del criterio

I wonder if it means "considered this possibility".

philgoddard Jun 13, 2016:
I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I'm not convinced by "leaning towards". We don't have any references supporting this, and I can't find any. What is it leaning towards? Why does it say "si sarebbe"? And what is this about? We have very little context.

leaning towards

You have to work it into the rest of your sentance but this is what I'd say it means in the sense of to lean towards or veer towards a decision or interpretation

Thanks Adrian!
neutral philgoddard : This seems a strong possibility, but I think some references would help. "Throw/hurl" is not really relevant.//I meant Italian references. We know that "lean towards" exists in English.

inclined to/towards

I agree with the discussion that context is lacking here. I found one reference that seems to be using this word in a similar context in the same vein as has been discussed. It looks to be a rare usage.

I'm thinking the court would inclined to support or reject a certain rationale that is referred to in previous sentences. I think it is reflexive because of this usage of proiettarsi and I think it is conditional, the court would be inclined....plus context.

Of course without more context I could be totally wrong here.
