Spanish term or phrase: "se le tiene"

En un juicio de orden familiar, aparece esta frase:

"La Secretaria de Acuerdos da cuenta con una promoción y sobre cerrado... con número de registro XXXXX .... MEDIANTE LA CUAL SE LE TIENE a la licenciada YYYYY ... exhibiendo sobre cerrado que dice contener pliego de posiciones..."

Etc...

I think this is some kind of official acknowledgment that she was there and doing that, but how would you translate it (if I'm right - I'll accept being corrected if I'm not!)

Este "se tiene" aparece varias veces en cuanto a diferentes testigos y participantes etc...

I find the wording "se le tiene" quite confusing. Why the indirect article "le", and who "has" the person. In what way are they "had"?

Thanks for any help you can give.

8 mins confidence:

to accept/consider

Explanation:
Legalese again - just asking the court to accept someone in their capacity as lawyer etc., or to consider something as filed/presented correctly.

So here it would be the passive "is recognised" etc.

Agree with Henry re "Pro", but I can't agree with his take; the verb will vary depending on the subject of the sentence, whether person or document etc.
