This is from the defense arguments in a civil trial in Mexico. This whole chunk is giving me a headache. ANY help with the last part would be appreciated (including a clearer rendition in Spanish).
...la actora logró convencer a la codemandada XXX, S.A. de C.V., de allanarse a todas sus pretensiones al grado de llegar a colocarse en un supuesto de condena y además de pretender imputar la responsabilidad por ella asumida al amparo de su confesional, a mi representada, lo cual en nada le beneficia a la actora.

supposed/assumed judgement
My understanding:
La actora convenció a la codemandada para que la codemandada aceptase todas las pretensiones de la actora incluso la de ponerse en el caso de una supuesta condena y de imputar a mi representada la responsabilidad asumida en su declaración (la declaración de la codemandada), lo cual no beneficia a la actora.
