Refuses to allow? This is like saying I dislike to like instead of saying I don't like. I would assume there is a different way of writing that.

- pinkmuffinere 2y ago“Disallow” is one option, though maybe uncommon.
- neom 2y ago"Refuse" is an action verb, "Dislike" is a stative verb. The infinitive phrase ("to allow") serves as a complement to the verb "refuse," forming a grammatically correct structure. refusare = deny.
- akkad33 2y agoI wasn't saying it was grammatically incorrect, just that it was a very bloated and roundabout expression instead of saying something simpler like "the court refuses the merger".
- pestaa 2y ago'Deny' is the trivial choice here I think.
