ténorisée

Law (general)
"Le fait que XXX ait été entendu pendant l’enquête et que son audition ait été ténorisée, ne justifiait certainement pas de refuser au recourant d’être confronté à ses déclarations au moins une fois au cours du procès, au contraire"
This comes from a Swiss legal case involving a notary advising three foreigners on the purchase of property in Switzerland. XXX is the main foreigner involved who held the discussions with the notary.
I know that the noun “ténor” can mean a leading light or the tenor of a document, but I’m not sure of the precise meaning of the verb used here. Since the evidence given by XXX seems to have been given importance by the various judges in the lawsuit, I was wondering whether "ténorisée" might perhaps mean something along the lines of XXX’s hearing having been given prominence (?).
Any suggestions/answers greatly appreciated.

I've tried in vain to find a formal definition on this word in a Swiss legal context.
My suggested answer is based on what I've inferred from the example I've seen on line.

given plenty of attention,
I think. "Ténor" is a word used for prominent barristers, so that they probably mean they made a fuss about his evidence, as if he were a VIP.

This doesn't help with the translation, but:

: It does help with the translation - you should pst this as a suggestion : try something along the lines of "as set out in" or "as provided in"... when it relates to a document and "as shown,", "as demonstrated by" in other contexts.

Following on from Catherine’s SNRTL source, which I often find an extremely helpful one by the way, then searches on Google with
« Suisse + ténoriser/ténorisation + acte juridique »
« Suisse +….. + exposer + tribunal »
Ténoriser, ténorisation = Set out in, provided in, when referring to documents
Ténoriser, ténorisation = Explain, demonstrated, when referring to facts, an individual’s behavior etc
Sorry, got to go now, but if you do searches along these lines and then similar ones in English, with the word Swiss in there, Catherine's suggestion will bear out.
