deuxieme ou seconde categorie

Explanation:
In the preceding paragraph(s), there must be a reference to alternative jurisdictions or types of case. It would help to see the text.

As DPolice says further, the use of the definite article makes the interpretation \"deuxieme rang\" and other variants unlikely. I forgot to translate \"came in\" but both \"abouti\" or \"se rangeait\" seem good.

There is nothing here about hierarchy of importance in the courts; rather, they decide which laws are violated or contested - county, state or federal or which county or which state. This is how the case is originally assigned to one court or another; there is no value judgement intended in the sentence. There is very often a decision about which state, in certain conflicts, has jurisdiction because of the place of the crime (or \"issue\") or the residence of the defendants.

"devenait secondaire"

Explanation:
...dans le sens "d'une question (un problème) secondaire, à laquelle on n'accorde pas la priorité..."

Il était évident cependant que la question devenait secondaire (dans l'ordre des priorités), et elle a dû être tranchée par la loi newyorkaise.

Espero que te haya ayudado un poquito! :°)

Élaboration de la réponse de dpolice

Explanation:
Il s'agit évidemment d'un extrait d'un ordonnace ou d'un jugement.

Le juge, après avoir étaler les divers catégories de lois (les "classes") et comment les appliquer, et après avoir analysé la question principale pour voir dans quelle catégorie tombait le litige, il déclare:

"But what was clear was that the issue in the present case came in the second class and had to be decided by the law of New York."

Mais ce qui était clair était que la question principale dans la présente cause tombait dans la deuxième catégorie et (donc) devait se faire trancher par la loi de New York.
