We use "toy" as an adjective for many things: little toy house (speelgoedhuisje), little toy soldiers, little toy cars, toy pistol (speelgoedpistool) etc. So a toy Court did not strike me as odd, the way it was used. Maybe this proves that any foreign language or culture you try to "learn" , if not from earliest childhood on, will for a part stay closed to you forever. I regularly meet the limits here.
