English term or phrase: litigating this case
Funds for carrying out the programme which includes litigating this case are limited

Le "programme" est, dans le cas de ce cabinet d'avocats. de prendre en charge des litiges stratégiques en particulier s'il s'agit de violations graves des droits de l'homme. Pour moi, litigate the case, est porter l'affaire devant les tribunaux, mais je me trompe peut-être. En ce cas, pourquoi "this case" seulement?
Merci de votre aide.

agree  Olga Cartlidge: What they mean, is "litigating such cases".

disagree  Daryo: "la défense de cette cause" would also include all sort of campaigning in the media and elsewhere; the ST is concerned ONLY with a "case" to be litigated (or not) in tribunals

porter cette affaire en justice


Explanation:
"Funds for carrying out the programme which includes litigating this case are limited"
=
"... porter cette affaire en justice"

in this ST, the question is whether or not to engage at all in a litigation - is it worth or not spending the limited funds on it.

it's about some specific "case", not about some worthy "cause" in general.
