Spanish term or phrase: "... podra repetir la cuantia total a que ascienda el fallo de la sentencia
It is really the sense of the phrase, rather than a particular term.

The whole sentence reads, "Si xxxxxx fuera condenada como responsable civil en procedimiento civil or penal, podra repetir la cuantia total a que ascienda el fallo de la sentencia al Arrendatario.

English translation:shall be entitled to sue the tenant to recover the total amount awarded in the judgment
Explanation:
"repetir" es "reclamar (judicialmente) contra tercero", so I believe the translation should express the idea that the party will have to take legal action ("acción de repetición") in order to recover the amount; recovery is not to be assumed or is it automatic (Diccionario Básico Jurídico, Granada: Comares, 1997

... will be able to recoup/recover from the Tenant the total amount awarded by the judgment


Explanation:
Repetir a: xxx - say as Landlords - pass on the cost to i.e. recoup from the Tenant.

'If xx were found liable in tort in civil or (as a 'civil' party liable to pay civil damages) in criminal proceedings, ...'

NB Unlike the UK, in civil/Roman law systems the victim or wrongdoer - as a 'civil party' - can claim or be held liable for compensation in a crim. prosecution.

A sep. civil action - relying on the outcome of the crim. pros. - is required in the UK. The crim. conviction can be pleaded as evidence when claiming civ. damages.
