The term 'ad-hoc resolution' is widely used in both Brazilian corporate and governmental contexts, reflecting the influence of English in formal business language. In Brazil, it appears frequently in board meetings, legal documents, and technical reports. The phrase maintains its Latin origin and is often left untranslated in formal documents. In Portugal, there is slightly more preference for using Portuguese alternatives like 'resolução pontual,' though 'ad-hoc' is also understood and used.
