Law (general)
decision from Mexico
This is from a decision from Mexico regarding an intellectual property suit.
"Acto seguido se le da uso de la palabra a la agente del Ministerio Público de la Federación adscrito, quien manifestó que era su deseo formular preguntas al testigo presente, por lo que previa calificación de legales resultaron: A la primera. ..."
My literal take on that last bit is "whereby the following resulted from an assessment of legal rules:", and I would certainly like to see other options.
Thanks for any suggestions!

This may be compared to the US practice that is quite different; when a question is asked it may be objected to by the opposition and then the judge will decide whether it is proper or not. The Mexican system is much more formal and limited and the judge does not need objections from anyone and rules on all the questions.
