English translation:court having subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction
Explanation:
věcná příslušnost is (can be) subject-matter jurisdiction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject-matter_jurisdiction

místní příslušnost is (can be) territorial jurisdiction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_jurisdiction

So one solution would be “court having subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction”:
“as the court having subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction”
http://www.icty.org/x/cases/delic/trans/en/071127IT.htm

or

"Only the court with subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction can give a valid judgement..."

This solution, though unwieldy, follows the original by indicating two specific types of jurisdiction, i.e. if you just put "jurisdiction", would this also imply "personal jurisdiction"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_jurisdiction

e.g. "Court has personal, subject matter and territorial jurisdiction"

court with jurisdiction and (proper) venue


Explanation:
"While jurisdiction says in what state and what court you file your lawsuit, “venue” is the county where you file your action.
Usually, venue is in the county where:

The person you are suing lives or does business (if you are suing a business or organization); or
The dispute arose, like where an accident happened, or where a contract was entered into or broken.


It is possible to have a situation where more than one county is the proper venue for you to file your lawsuit."

"Jurisdiction and Venue

In order to hear and decide a case, a court must have (1) jurisdiction over the parties involved (personal jurisdiction); (2) jurisdiction over the subject matter involved (subject matter jurisdiction); and (3) proper venue."
