español al inglés Jurídico/Patentes Derecho: contrato(s) Lawsuit documentation
Hello fellow linguists,
I wonder if anyone could help me to decipher exactly what is meant by this phrase within the context of a legal document from Mexico discussing the evidence around a petition which has been brought before the court. The full sentence is below:

"'Este tribunal se reserva de acordar su escrito', toda vez que el presente asunto se encuentra suspendido."

I thought it was something like 'This tribunal reserves judgement/ ruling on her document.'

I would be grateful for your help!
Many thanks in advance.

reserves ruling on

I think you're quite right. I'd be inclined to use "ruling" rather than "judgment" (which in legal contexts has no "e", by the way). And it should be "this court", not "this tribunal".

These other examples from Mexico make it clear that this is the sense:

"Se le dice al ocusante O.M.R. que por el momento se reserva de acordar su solicitud, fijándose las 14:00 catorce horas del día 2 dos de febrero del año en curso para la ratificación de su escrito"

"Dígaseles que esta Autoridad se reserva de acordar hasta en tanto obre en este Juzgado el Expediente principal."
http://www.stjslp.gob.mx/pjudicial/listas/pdf/2RC110713.pdf

"The Court RESERVES ruling on defendant's third motion in limine."

For "escrito", rather than "document", I think you should put "petition" or "motion" or whatever kind of document it is.
