Spanish term
dar fe (THIS CONTEXT)
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
I know all the usual meanings of "dar fe" - attest, certify, etc. But I am confused about its use in the following context because there is nothing attested or certified. Can it possibly mean "administer the oath"?
Vistos para resolver el juicio de nulidad y estando debidamente integrada la Sala Regional del Tribunal Federal de Justicia Fiscal y Administrativa por los CC. Magistradas que la componen, [names of the magistrates] ante el C. Secretario de Acuerdos que da fe, con fundamento en los artículos …., se procede a emitir sentencia definitiva.

attest
My reading is that it is the secretary who attests that the tribunal was properly constituted.
