Alternatively, you could say. “the litigious foundation of the case file” or “the litigious footing of the case file”. And, instead of ‘case file’ for ‘δικόγραφο’, you could use ‘legal document’, ‘court document’ or ‘pleading’.

You could also say, “the litigative basis of the case file”, because, although many reliable British and American dictionaries confirm that ‘of or relating to litigation’ is one of the alternative meanings of the word ‘litigious’, and confirm that ‘litigious’ is a recognised adjectival form of the noun ‘litigation’, the following online dictionaries give the word ‘litigative’ to mean ‘of or relating to litigation’, too, thus implying that ‘litigative’ is an alternative adjectival form of the word ‘litigation’:
