only stating that the Court would never enforce such a ruling
Explanation:
It appears from the extract of text you post that:
1.) The Court issued a ruling.
2.) That the lawyer did not inform his superior at the firm of said ruling.
3.) That the lawyer instead reported his opinion to his superior to the effect that, were such a ruling made, the court would never enforce it.

Suerte.

; all he did was attempt to convince the Court to cancel that sentence


Explanation:
I could be entirely wrong, but this reading is based on the use of the subjunctive "dejara", because of which I have understood "tratar" in the sense of "attempt" (in which case it is followed by the subjunctive). It seems that this attempt postdated the sentence because the sentence was dated 2005 and the result of the attempt was given in 2006.

sorry, "sentence" should be "ruling".
