Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Testimonial
Spanish term or phrase: conocerlas
«...las denuncias se remitieron a la Fiscalía ZXY Seccional de BSM porque allá, al parecer,
ocurrieron los hechos, y los fiscales en la ciudad no son competentes para conocerlas…»

NOTE: As I understand '...conocer...' (in this context) is when a D.A. engages in a case, but I don't think that the verb know would fit.

The British Columbia Court of Appeal previously stayed the complaints, agreeing that the Tribunal had lost jurisdiction to hear the complaints.

The Tribunal found it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaints against the GMC as the doctor had a right of appeal to the High Court under the Medical Act 1983 s.40(1)(a).

The first contention on this appeal is that the Division had no jurisdiction to hear the complaints and to enforce those portions of the Law Against Discrimination which deal with public accommodations.

neutral  Charles Davis: Hi Rich. I don't think this works here. Prosecutors don't hear cases; only judges and courts do that.
