Abstention in sub judice cases
Sub judice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In law, sub judice, Latin for "under judgment," means that a particular case or matter is currently under trial or being considered by a judge or court. The term may be used synonymously with "the present case" or "the case at bar" by some lawyers.

"A matter that is currently being adjudicated" is journalese and not legalese, as can be evidenced by the number of words (13) that the first answerer takes to express an idea that can be done in 5 words, and without losing the legal register of the original.
