This is what I have always called the Spanish equivalent which is called virtually the same thing. There is no official translation. It is a court not a tribunal (in Spain anyway).

Open Market Protection Court
I think this option may be the closest equivalent in US English. I liked the "Open Market Defense Court" suggestion, but "Defense" may shade the description in an unintended way. I would be leery of translating Tribunal as Tribunal; in (US) English, the word generally refers to military or quasi-military courts. As far as I know, the US doesn't have an equivalent of the referenced Chilean institution.
