of the outcome of the unresolved claim
Explanation:
my guess is this is about awarding costs, but you give very little context. Reservé is just a hinge word, reserved would be too verbose in English

taking into account the outcome of the unresolved claim. The outcome would affect who pays costs and how much. "sort réservé" is a kind of future in the past, which you could translate by "eventual outcome of the case under review".

Notes to answerer
Asker:

Asker: I would have to give you the whole 6000 words for context. It's about an appeal where they are ruling against the judgement of the lower court basically related to compensation for clientele when an agency agreement is terminated and they are returning the case so that this lower court adopts a different decision and decides on the costs for the various proceedings
