French term

Ayant la parole

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Zaire/DRC adoption judgment
This is a non-contentious case regarding an adoption in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). I was considering translating "Ayant la parole" as "Taking the stand" but I'm not sure if this fits the context.

Ayant la parole, le requérant sollicite le bénéfice intégral de sa requête introductive d’instance;

Thank you
