most probably typo
I wouldn't bet the farm on it -I would have to see the whole sentence- but this is probably a typo, we see si tant est que very often in those briefs.
Peer comment(s):

Ian Burley (X)
: Yes, probably a horrible typo for "tant est que"

Emma...really, how can we just guess out of context?
in a pleading, the lawyer could be saying: blah blah blah despite the temptation to x
it is a discourse organizer of sorts in English

provided that
This is a grammatical error. The correct expression is "Si tant est que".
("Si tenté que" is a phonetic transcription of the correct version.)
The translation is: "provided that".
NB1: "Si tant est que" is always followed by the subjunctive mode (si tant est que j'aie terminé mon travail, not si tant est que j'ai terminé mon travail).
NB2: Anyway, the use of "si tant est que" is very rare in oral conversation. It is rather used in law texts and, sometimes, as a good way to avoid repetitions or improve a sentence's elegance in formal texts or conversations.

I can go to the cinema tonight <b>provided</b> I have finished my work.
