In a letter to be presented in court, I found "hago cumbre" in this context:
Hago cumbre esta carta en apoyo de....
Could someone please explain the meaning of "hago cumbre" and give an English equivalent? What country is this used?
Thank you.

To start the ball of answers rolling after careful persual of the venerated Discussion Entries pointing to priority:
Hago cumbre esta carta en apoyo de ... : I (do) crave highlighting of this letter in support of...
My hunch is that is from a Latin American country (Mex, Arg., Parag) or Caribbean Island (Cuba, Dom Rep) or Equatorial Guinea (!), rather than Spain.
Otherwise, could be a mix-up with 'cumplo con' : controversially translated one way, over the years, on a UK Spanish Translators' List 'as requested, I (do) duly and verily comply as follows.'

: totally archaic usage which Lord Wolff discouraged 18 years ago

An 'incongruous' or idiotic comment as Lord Wolff had been concerned with the language of English civil procedure, rather than of Spanish idiosyncracies.

Comment: "This is a plausible explanation, as "hacer cumbre DE algo" means emphasize it. Thanks"

See the discussion entries.
I have no idea why they chose these words, and no references. I just think this is the likely meaning given the context.

: Of course. I still think that the similarity of sound between "summit" and "submit" has tricked some MT device.

: It makes no sense in Spanish. "Submit" is most probably the intended meaning anyhow.

No es expresión habitual, aunque la gente puede inventarse algo o crear una imagen.
Se leería mejor algo así
Hago cumbre CON esta carta...
So could this letter have been originally translated from English? This would be a credible explanation
Asker, do you know?
"I want to give this letter in support of... utmost importance" / "I give absolute precedence to this letter in support of..."
Another possibility would be that the use of "hago cumbre" means sharing the content of the letter with a group of important people, as in the 4th definition shared by Winstonn, but I'd rather go with my previous interpretation.
cumbre
Del lat. culmen, -ĭnis.
1. f. Cima o parte superior de un monte.
