Spanish term or phrase: Ellos tenian corte con CAFTA
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Spanish into American English. it's the translation of the transcription of a Latin American Spanish phone conversation.

Is correct to translate it as "Because they were supposed to be in Court today with CAFTA? What the abbreviation CAFTA means in Spanish?

Thanks for all your help.

Here is the full paragraph:

Jose: No tengo idea Miguel.

Miguel: No con tu NGO. Hoy dia ellos tenían corte con CAFTA. Hoy dia CAFTA necesitaba probar porque habías cancelado la póliza. Yo pensaba que el abogado te estaba demandando a ti pero el abogado no te demanda a ti. El abogado estaba demandando a CAFTA.

José: No Miguel. Ellos me demandaron a mi también.

Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA)
Explanation:
http://www.globalexchange.org/resources/CAFTA
Around midnight on July 27, 2005, the US House of Representatives approved the Central America-Dominican Republic-United States Free Trade Agreement, CAFTA in a 217-215 vote. Based on the failed model of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and because North American free traders failed to launch the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) to all of the Americas, CAFTA was created to expand corporate rights to the poorest countries in Central America, including Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic.
