► The Symposium Series in a nutshell : As a direct continuation of the previous symposium series co-organised by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance and its partner universities on "Compliance Obligation", which served as the basis for the publication of the book 📘Compliance Obligation, The series, some elements of which began in 2024 and others are already present in this book, explored in depth the specific theme of the links between compliance law and contracts. Indeed, compliance law is often analysed as the construction of laws and regulations to achieve "📘 Monumental Goals " of a political nature desired by States and public authorities, to the achievement of which systemic economic operations contribute through 📘Compliance Tools that are now well documented. Contracts are still relatively little studied, or even developed, in compliance systems that are often perceived through the orders issued, the technologies put in place and the 📘sanctions to be avoided or endured. On the contrary, the future of compliance law, particularly in its European conception, which places human beings at the centre of concerns for the sustainability of systems and the use of contracts, is the new conception that we must adopt. Contracts then appear to be both the means by which the subject company fulfils its legal obligations, forges relationships with other actors and deploys the necessary innovations. Contract law is both used and renewed as a result. The series of symposiums will examine various aspects of this general issue. It will result in the publication of a 📘book Compliance and Contrat.

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).

This scientific manifestation is placed under the scientific responsibility of Marie-Anne Frison-Roche. It is organized by the Journal of Regulation & Compliance (JoRC).
The work will then be incorporated into the two books La juridictionnalisation de la Compliance and Compliance Jurisdictionalization which will be published in the Regulations & Compliance series, co-edited by the JoRC with Dalloz for the book in French and with Bruylant for the book in English.
This colloquium will be held in Paris in 2021.
Presentation of the topic: Because Compliance Law is the extension of Regulatory Law, it is experiencing the same movement of Juridictionnalisation. First of all conceived as the goal of protecting systems and people, even if they seem beyond reach, this has led to the establishment of private companies as judges of themselves, to be structurally the judges and judged, those who act and those who observe. The duty of vigilance has increased this transformation. As in Regulatory Law, which is an Ex Ante branch of Law, the procedure, which is an Ex Post branch of Law, governs the functioning of companies, transfiguring Company Law under the term "governance".
The shock and transformation once received by Administrative Regulatory Authorities has been heightened by the fact that companies have been further seized by the repressive Courts on the one hand and by an American repressive Law on the other hand, two different cultures. There are therefore many technical difficulties that must first be identified and formulated and then resolved. The easiest is in a first step to ask the following questions : Why? Who? How? When? Where? Toward What?
