Mex. : /Appeal Progression/ Serial Number


Explanation:
.. of the Appeal Case going through.

Progressive number doesn't strike me as a very progressive translation.

'Teach Yourself Translation', Hodder + Stoughton, and Languages in Industry, Fleming: 'a literal translation is usually a bad one.'

Example sentence(s):
  • En cada envase deben indicarse el número progresivo atribuido por la organismo de certificación y la campaña de producción. eur-lex.europa.eu Each container must bear the serial number issued by the certification body and the year of production.
  • This form is to be completed when requesting progression of an academic appeal to ... Student Number (7 digit number on UCard),

Case Number


Explanation:
If the number has no significance other than to serve as a certain and unique reference to the case, and the only reason it is "progressive" is because the number increases with each case, we call this a case number (or sometimes cause number) in American law.

neutral  Sandro Tomasi: Wouldn't the "CAUSA PENAL XXX/XXXX" be the case number? // Exactly! The lower court's (causa penal) is the case number and the higher court's (número progresivo) is the docket number assigned to that court´s calendar.
6 hrs
  -> The causa penal is the number for the trial court and the number made the topic of inquiry is the number assigned by the court that issued the opinion/judgment. // Yes, but at least here, they still call it a case number when it gets to the ct. appeals.
