► Presentation of the topic :  Two movements intersect: firstly, what is commonly referred to as the "contractualisation of justice", an image that nevertheless refers to the inclusion of truly contractual techniques in procedural proceedings, and secondly, through the Compliance Juridictionalisation, the emergence of Systemic Litigation, which by transitivity bears the hallmarks of Compliance Law itself.

Furthermore, compliance techniques are increasingly giving way to contractual mechanisms, either through "compliance contracts" or through "compliance clauses". This therefore gives rise to contractual disputes. These are also influenced by Compliance Law, notably its norative Monumental Goals, albeit indirectly rather than directly.

Thus, in various new ways, a new field of "contractual litigation involving compliance" is emerging. This field involves procedural and jurisdictional aspects, which will be examined during this event.

Firstly, it is necessary to define this contractual dispute involving compliance (I), which has only recently emerged, because although we have always been familiar with contractual disputes on the one hand, dispute over regulation and compliance in the second instance, their entanglement with the contractualisation of justice is new. This may even come as a shock, in that Compliance Law, because it is not at all simply an obligation to obey applicable regulations, carries with it systemic ambitions for the future and thus finds itself, through contracts, brought before judges who are more accustomed to disputes between two individual parties.

This opens up the topics of judges hearing cases and judges of nature (II), the parties to the dispute and the parties to the proceedings (III), procedural treatment (IV), judgement and its enforcement (V).
