take a view

Verb

 * 1)  To form an opinion and take action on an issue which carries the risk of professional or legal liability; particularly where there is no obvious course of action.

Usage notes

 * There is no implication that the decision has been risky in the sense of "reckless", but rather that a poor decision could, for example, result in one being held liable for professional negligence. As a result, the term is sometimes used as a way to imply that a decision has been (or must be) made by a suitably qualified person, such as a solicitor or financial advisor.
 * The term is frequently used without being followed by a preposition (such as on).
 * Not to be confused with.
