非常可觀
substantial (meaning in law) = Being significant or large and having substance.
這裡前文後意可理解為 “賠償”，因為 “.... the defendant is required to repay the plaintiff a huge sum.”

I don't think it is legalese. It simply means "large", and the dictionary entry of "ample or considerable amount, quantity, size, etc" fits perfectly in the context. ie， 賠償數額龐大的判決。
