Italiano term

rimessione in termini

Da Italiano a Inglese Legale/Brevetti Legale (generale) investigating magistrate\'s order
This has already been asked on the site but I find the answer given unclear and inconclusive. Could someone perhaps offer a more specific translation relevant to the context? Many thanks.

Context: Wrangle because husband had notification of separation served on wife at wrong address so wife didn't get it in time and didn't appear at the hearing. Wife subsequently showed a bunch of emails proving that the husband knew where she was living at the time so could have had the notification served at the right address. But the emails are all in "a foreign language" (Spanish). So the judge is asking for a translation:

Il Giudice istruttore "invita la convenuta a depositare la traduzione giurate dei documenti che reputa pertinenti ai fini della ***rimessione in termini*** e rinvia a tal fine la causa all'udienza del xxx, riservandosi, in difetto, di designare il traduttore.

It seems obvious that "rimessione in termini" must mean that the wife's failure to show up at the hearing would be considered entirely justified (if the emails prove this) and therefore a new date would be set and she wouldn't be penalised for not appearing the first time round. But how is this translated in English in official legal terminology? Thank you in advance for any help.

e.g.
Part E discusses the special procedures available for relief from the time limitations on filing a claim. Specifically, it covers applications to a public entity for leave to present a late claim and petitions to the court for relief from the claim requirement, grounds for such relief, and time limitations for requesting such relief. Part F discusses various aspects of commencing an action against a public entity, including the time for commencing an action, pleading of presentation and rejection of a claim, service of process, and venue.

leave to act within a new time limit

e.g.

leave to appeal
leave to file a written statement, etc.
