Como dizer “Pôr no pau” em inglês

Pôr no pau = Take to court
Ex.:
A disagreement between a car dealer and owner of a building has led to a car being cemented into a pavement in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The pavement was concreted with the car still in situ on Wednesday.
The responsible for the car says he will be taking the building owner and those responsible for concreting the pavement to court. Ref. (topix.com)
