with regard to the subject matter of the case
Explanation:
In standard Chilean parlance "interrogado al tenor de" is most often found in police reports to reflect a statement made by a witness in response to a question posed. Thus, this phrase would come out as "Moreover, when questioned with regard to the subject matter of the case" or "...subject matter at hand."

sense / purport of the matter at cause


Explanation:
in which "materia" is the subject of the dispute. You can also say "tenor" if the wording of a document is referred to (nothing to do with German "Tenor" in law, which are the operative proceedings of a judgment).

It all depends on the other paragraphs in your text.

substance of the case


Explanation:
'tenor de la materia' is somewhat redundant, I think. It's referring to the 'substance of the case' - the 'nitty gritty' in common parlance.
