I understand the term but can't come up with what this might be in succinct English nor know whether 'nullity', 'vacate' or 'set aside' is more appropriate in the Canadian context.

a.Contents and time for filing. An appellee may file a motion to dismiss an appeal based upon the appellant's failure to comply with an appellate filing deadline established by an appellate rule or court order, the appellant's filing of a document that fails to substantially comply with the appellate rules or a court order, or an allegation that the appropriate appellate court lacks jurisdiction or authority to address the case.

CanE: Writ of Certiorari for Jurisdictional Error


Explanation:
The second of the asker's suggestions would be closer to my idea of including the word judgment for England + Wales consumption:

*An interlocutory application/ AmE: motion / to set aside judgment on a plea of jurisdictional error.*

Incidente: a collateral issue or ancillary proceedings, West.

A related concept is a jurisdictional plea or plea to the jurisdiction - routinely entered pre- and not post-judgment - and that implies that the court had no jurisdiction or the jurisdiction had been challenged ex post facto.






Example sentence(s):
  • Can. Indeed, whatever may have been the position initially,even legislatures have both impliedly and explicitly acknowledged the role of the courts in relation to jurisdictional error.
  • CanE: Certiorari is often used when tribunals have acted without jurisdiction, or have make a jurisdictional error. This remedy is not used for preliminary decisions, but for *final decisions*.

disagree  AllegroTrans: There are no writs of certiorari in Panama asfaik, the country is not a common law jurisdiction
20 hrs
  -> The asker stipulates for a Canadian context, so asfaik, has used my suggestion, but doesn't want to upset anyone else.

an adjournment by another jurisdiction


Explanation:
It's a case in which a legal incident was either postponed, adjourned, suspended, deferred or closed by another judicial authority which is entitled to impose a law.
"The level of appeal was submitted to the Superior Authority with the noted contents on file regarding an adjournment by another jurisdiction, petitioned by the claimant throughout the regular proceedings of (X) against (Y), following the intervention against the decision."

(The level of appeal is a first or second hearing or a first or second instance Tribunal.)
EN: "The appeal is an ordinary and upright resource by which both parties request a second hearing (or a second instance Tribunal), a new examination and a new ruling dictated by a judge in the first instance, in the hope of modifying or revoking it."
"In the second instance (or by a second hearing), an appeal which shows disagreement with a decision can take place only once the initial Tribunal or hearing has already been closed or adjourned, finished or used up as an appeal resource."

SP:"La apelación es un recurso ordinario y vertical por el que una o ambas de las partes solicita el Tribunal de segundo grado un nuevo exámen sobre una resolución dictada por un juzgador de primera instancia con el objeto de que aquél lo modifique o revoque."
"A la segunda instancia se llega mediante la apelación, como acto en el que se muestra la disconformidad con la resolución dictada, pero para que exista verdadera segunda instancia, es necesario que se haya agotado la primera instancia dediante una resolución de fondo (recurso de apelación."
