Residence and Work Permit (San Sebastian)
In this instance, would it be more appropriate to simply refer to these as inquiries or checks rather than investigative proceedings given that this is a government body rather than a court?
Also is it ok to refer to this as a case or would it be better to use "file" for "expediente", again because the decision is being issued by a government body rather than a court?
Please see two sections of context below.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

It's definition 4 in my reference.
I would say "case" or "matter" for "expediente".

I didn't realise there had been a long and heated debate about this on Translators Cafe. I think the discussion of whether this is a court case is irrelevant - it may be a court that issues the decision, but it doesn't affect the translation.
