Explanation:
"Doe" is a fictitious name of a defendant or a plantiff in certain types of actions.
In Japanese legal documents, you will often see 原告X,Y,Z/甲、乙...or 被告 X,Y Z/甲、乙...、which are an equivalent of Doe. "本件XCｏ及び被告1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10はそれぞれ同原動機付自転車の製造業者である。”
For "said," 同 is often used.

If the sentence comes at the beginning, it would be better to rewrite it as 本件被告XCO及び被告１，２，３，４，５，６，７，８，９，１０はそれぞれ同原動機付自転車の製造業者である。
