Spanish term (edited):
actualmente en proceso contencioso administrativo
currently a contentious administrative /judicial review/ matter on appeal
as opposed to: on judicial review.
I suppose this is Bolivia, though no country is mentioned.
contencioso administrativo > related to an adminsitrative dispute /West/
Sub judice/iudice on appeal
Judicial review is a bit problematic because . 1. there is the 'amparo' constiutional procedure in Lat. Am. > the late ProZ translator Henry Hinds: 'do not tranbslate' and 2. judicial review against a public Body in the UK can only review the merits of a decision and determine whether it is within the intra vires / power of the Body and recommend action. It is not an Appeal as such and cannot set aisde e.g. a Mining Ministry's decision,

philgoddard
: It doesn't say anything about appeal or judicial review as far as I can see. It just says litigation.

'...confirmada por el Ministerio de Minería en *Recurso Jerárquico* West: appeal to the head of an agency > Ministry y actualmente se encuentran en proceso...' the Appeal is still going through the Courts.

litigation
This can be expressed much more concisely in English: "currently the subject of litigation".
Enrique is partially right (contentious simply means disputed), but "administrativo" is a false friend. In this context, it simply means "against the administration", ie the ministry of mines. You don't need to say "administrative", as it goes without saying. You might want to put in a translator's note explaining why you've omitted it.
