Law/Patents - Law (general) / Spanish legal term
Spanish term or phrase: sustanciandose el recurso por sus trámites legales
I would appreciate a neat rendering of this statement indicating acceptance of an appeal proceeding, I think .

.. se remitieron las actuaciones a esta sección, sustanciándose el recurso por sus trámites legales.

Thank you!

and the appeal was duly heard
Explanation:
Sticking my neck out a little by cutting "por sus trámites legales" down to "duly", but as I read it, it simply means "according to the legal procedures pertaining to it" (that it, to a recurso), which to my mind is simply a verbose way of saying it was done according to the relevant procedure, "by the book". So it seems to me that it doesn't in practice mean anything more than "duly" (in the correct and proper manner).

You asked for neat...

By the way "hear" for "sustanciar" is in various legal dictionaries.

disagree  Luis Vasquez: I think that a literal translation may be misleading. A more accurate rendering would be to say someting like: recourse is based on due process.
7 mins
  -> Well, thank you, Luis! So nice of you.
disagree  Billh: recurso is appeal here not resource or recourse
17 hrs
disagree  AllegroTrans: this does not really make sense to me
3 days 2 hrs
  -> Allegro, the question has already been closed and graded. There seems to be an urgency to hurt the competition. The idea is to help your peers. It is clear that my answer was not a good one. Gentlemen, I appreciate your feedback, but enough is enough.

agree  philgoddard: ...and neat you got.
5 mins
  -> Thanks, Phil :)
agree  Billh: I would say 'and the appeal was duly processed' which is closer I think
3 hrs
  -> You may well be right (you do tend to be). I found "try" and "hear" in dics. but DRAE says "2. tr. Der. Conducir un asunto o juicio por la vía procesal adecuada hasta ponerlo en estado de sentencia", which does suggest processed. Thanks, Bill.
agree  James A. Walsh: I love "duly" sometimes – such a loaded little word! Also agree with Bill's suggested "processed"; just works better, IMO ;)
6 hrs

the appeal being disposed of via its statutory stages


Explanation:
It would be useful to know the country: presumed to be Argentina rather than Nicaragua etc.

The 'legal formailities' are important as they might require:

1. notice of appeal in writing
2. within a certain time limit
3. served on the respondent
3. represented by legally qualified Counsel etc.

Asker: Thanks for your help Tom. This might also have done. When I described the question as a "Spanish legal term" I meant Spanish from Spain, but I suppose it is confusing.
