English translation: ... documentary evidence has been presented...

Italian term or phrase: documentalmente istruita
I am proofreading a handwritten document written by a judge:
"Il G.I.
...
ritenuto che la causa sia documentalmente istruita (risultando cosi assorbita la prova testimoniale) ... fissa, per la precisazione dell conclusioni l'udienza dell' [data]"
The translator has written "considering that the case has been prepared in the form of documentation", which I don't think is right, but I am unsure what to write instead.
