I don't think that there is such an expression in English, actually if it exists I will be glad to know. I would translate in the above manner, I believe the sense is clear.

Declined
A discretionary right such as you describe is a perquisite or priviledge.
More technically, laws can be public-interest or non-public interest. Public interest legislation is that which cannot be changed by private contract.
So legislation that can be changed by the will of the parties and are therefore discretionary, are non-public interest.
