English translation:the court will reserve judgement on the liquidation of periodic penalties
Explanation:
This is just a literal translation.

It would appear to be a writ of summons for some sort of interlocutory order (most often the appointment of a court expert). Is this the same document as the "third party proceedings" question earlier?

Therefore, the writ (or the pleadings or the courts reasoning) will request (or argue or explain, respectively) that the court will not fix the amount of the periodic penalties at this stage of proceedings. "Liquidation" is in the pure sense of converting into a cash value, like "liquidated damages".

Without the context, I can't help more for the "astreintes". As a catch-all translation "periodic penalties" works just fine.

So there you go. How exactly you want to word it is up to you, but this suggestion is at least exact as to the meaning.
