Hi, That;'s the general idea, but without any further context I'd prefer to say that the court has accepted or listened to those things. Note that this is a fragment, and not a complete sentence. It's like walking into a room and saying 'Mary having cooked dinner'.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. The further context would not help much. Sentence coming before this sentence and with which the paragraph starts is: This matter having come regularly before the court.
