There's a previous KudoZ query here, but it seems to be off the mark, at least for my context (see definition below). https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/law-patents/36...
Cuestiones previas: Son mecanismos que tiene el demandado, de acuerdo con la ley, para exigir que se subsane algún vicio dentro del proceso o en su defecto se deseche la demanda por existir algún impedimento de la ley para proseguir con el juicio. Sólo pueden ser presentadas por el demandado, y únicamente dentro del lapso de contestación a la demanda, debiendo ser propuestas acumulativamente en el mismo escrito. https://accesoalajusticia.org/glossary/cuestiones-previas/
Based on this definition, the best I can come up with is "(motion for) preliminary objection/challenge (by the defendant)". I can't find any suggested translations online. Can anyone come up with anything better (or green-light my suggestion)?

Selected
pre-trial case management stage (of AmE collateral issues)
incidencia looks ambiguous : either the incidence or (Mex.) occurrences (Butterworths) incidents or events of a trial (Robb) or a mixture of both.

The process in Anglo-Am. textbooks on the law of evidence might be covered in the 'Course of (Civil or Criminal) Trial' chapter

Example sentence:
USA: The benefits gained in expedited and cost-saving resolution of disputes justifies support for judicial pretrial case management.
US Legal: A collateral issue is a question or issue not directly connected with the matter in dispute. Issues incidental to the central issue in a matter are considered collateral issues.

Comment: "This was a tricky one but based on the definition I gave and having read the input there, in the end I used "Following a period of preliminary motions by the defendant to cure or dismiss the complaint, ..."
Would have liked to split the points between Adrian and Robert. A literal translation would clearly be no use here."

Spanish term (edited):
Luego de la incidencia de cuestiones previas
Having considered defendant's pretrial motions
Based on the definition you provided, Joshua, might something in this general direction (although specifying they are from the defendant) work?
https://www.greenspunlaw.com/library/importance-of-pretrial-...
Presumably, the "incidencia" refers to the judge's examination of the motions (perhaps what we might see in Mexico as el desahogo de incidentes). Seems plausible to me in the context, though I might be completely wrong. No green light for either your suggestion or mine, sorry!

occurrence of previous issues
The information in the question explains:
'In May 2019 the Court made a decision by which the demand or claim made through the formalities of ordinary procedures, ordered the respondent or the defender to be summoned. Following on from the occurrence of previous issues, it states that in July 2021, the respondent or the defender presented a written response to the claim, which, in turn, proposed a counter-claim for damages against the claimants or applicants.'
In the mentioned case, the occurrence is of previous issues involved in the judicial process. By law the respondent or defender has the right to request a correction of an imperfection, a flaw or a mistake in the judicial proceedings, or, failing which, the application is dismissed. The request can be dismissed on the grounds that there is a legal impediment to proceeding with the trial.

"En mayo de 2019, la Corte (el Juzgado) tomó una decisión por la cual la reclamación puesta por las formalidades del procedimiento ordinario, ordenó la citación o la comparencia del respondente o el defendente. Partiendo de la ocurrencia de custiones previas, se constata que en julio de 2021, el respondente presentó una constatación escrita, que, a su vez, propuso una reconvención o una contra-reclamación, por daños y perjuicios."
'En el caso mencionado la ocurrencia es de las cuestiones implicadas en los procedimientos judiciales. De la ley el respondente tiene el derecho de exigir una corrección de (que se subsane) una imprefección o un fallo en el juicio u el procedimiento. En su defecto, alternativamente, la solicitud o la demanda de correcciones se deseche. Se desestima la solicitud por considerar que existe algún impedimento de la ley para proseguir con el juicio.'
