single-judge case
Explanation:
I guess this is more of a literal translation. Here in the US, a trial can be either a jury trial or a bench trial, the latter being a trial heard by a judge without a jury. However, in this case the terms does not seem to be limited to the actual trial; rather, it seems to apply to the case as a whole.

a matter (trial) heard by one judge


Explanation:
as an alternative.

It should be noted that (depending upon the jurisdiction) it is not necessary to specify that it is only one judge, as that is the norm and only when there are three (for instance) judges would the number of judges be mentioned.
