Spanish term or phrase: ..a quien habria correspondido conocer....

This is from an article of the Chilean Civil Code relating to legal rulings issued in foreign countries.

I'm in a complete muddle with this sentence - no matter how many times I read it I can't seem to translate it so it makes sense!

'Mandada cumplir una resolucion pronunciada en pais extranjero, se pedira su ejecucion al tribunal a quien habria correspondido conocer del negocio en primera o en unica instancia, si el juicio se hubiera promovido en Chile'

take cognizance of /hear

Explanation:
6. Section 468 Cr. P.C. provides that no court shall take cognizance of an offence after the expiry of the period of limitation. The present complaint was filed on 27.7. 2000 and on the date of giving the complaint, the period of three years mentioned in Section 468 (2) Cr. P.C. was over. The period of three years after detecting the offence was over on 7.1.1999. The submission made is that since the Magistrate had taken cognizance of the offences after a lapse of three years, the proceedings have to be quashed
