► English Summary of the article: We are seeing the Emergence of a category of its own and must be designated by a singular expression: 'Systemic Litigation' (I). This category is composed of concrete cases, "Systemic Cases", in which a system is entirely involved. The interest in these systems, insofar as they are all a system, unifies the category and justifies its own procedural, institutional and jurisdictional treatment. This type of Litigation is Emerging for three reasons, which are recorded in the Systemic Cases (II). Systemic Litigation must be dealt with in a way that is both specific and unified. This is beginning to happen and must be expanded (III).

► English Summary of the conference: After listening to the enlightening speeches of François Ancel and Jean-Christophe Roda, I had the great opportunity to emphasise, as they did, that the duty of vigilance, in the respect of French laws of 2017 and 2021, with a view to the transposition of the CS3D, does not imply, so brutally as has been said, a lack of knowledge by judges other than those of the Tribunal judiciaire de Paris (Paris First Instance Civil Court) of this new Law, which is the extension of Compliance Law, as François Ancel reminded us.
Because Commercial Court judges deal with Contract Law on a daily basis, and because companies build their value chains through contracts that should be described as "regulatory contracts", the duty of vigilance has an "impact" on these disputes.
These disputes may be of a "systemic" nature.
This can only result not in jurisdictional trenches, but in "shared jurisdiction", along the lines drawn by François Ancel. This sharing must be built through a dialogue between judges, a necessary method on which Patrick Sayer concluded this elaborate conference on an essential and forward-looking subject.

► Résumé de l'entretien :
Jean-Philippe Denis. Question : Pourquoi Droit et Gestion doivent dialoguer ?
Marie-Anne Frison-Roche. Réponse. : Pour des impératifs pratiques. Aujourd'hui, l'on demande au Droit de sortir de ses frontières en réglant la façon dont les entreprises, à travers les chaînes de valeur qu'elles ont construit, doivent faire en sorte qu'effectivement les droits humains ne soient pas atteints. Pour pouvoir remplir ces nouvelles obligations, les entreprises doivent renouveler leur gouvernance, ce qui relève de la Gestion et non du Droit. Le Droit doit ainsi trouver de nouvelles méthodes, de nouveaux raisonnements, en s'alliant avec la Gestion.
Dans un second temps, comme les juristes n'ont appris que le Droit, il reviendra aux avocats d'aller expliquer ces concepts aux juges, afin que ceux-ci les intègrent dans leur façon de juger. On voit donc ici ce que la Gestion peut apporter au Droit.
___
J.-Ph D. Q. : Loi Pacte, société à mission, RSE, derrière c'est la question de la responsabilité qui se pose et qui unit Droit et Gestion ?
MaFR. R. : Il n'y a pas que la responsabilité qui unit Droit et Gestion. Mais si l'on prend la responsabilité, celle-ci est en train d'être renouvelée dans son concept même.
Historiquement, elle avait été pensée dans son rapport à la morale. On disait qu'il fallait punir ceux qui avaient commis une faute, car il y avait eu une intention de nuire, tout cela étant tourné vers le passé. Cette conception demeure et est par exemple la base du Droit pénal.
Aujourd'hui l'on dit aussi, en plus de cela, que les acteurs en position d'agir doivent avoir conscience de leur position et de leur puissance et qu'il faut d'avantage penser en termes de responsabilisation. Cela implique pour l'entreprise de maîtriser sa puissance et de l'utiliser pour que le monde soit meilleur (responsabilité sociétale), d'utiliser sa liberté, sa volonté, pour exprimer sa fonction dans le monde de demain (entreprise à mission). On dit aussi aux entreprise qu'elles sont des groupes d'être humains, conception moins formelle que celle traditionnellement retenue en Droit, et qu'en conséquence elles doivent se définir en tant que groupe interne et analyser leur rapport à l'extérieur. Ce sont des conceptions de Gestion.

► English Summary of this conference: Compliance Law is a new branch of Law, teleological in nature, whose legal normativity is rooted in its goals.These are systemic goals of preserving systems by detecting the risks that weaken them and preventing the failures that can destroy them. It is therefore an Ex Ante branch of Law, the implementation of which will weigh on the "entities" in a position to detect risks and prevent failures so that these systemic goals are achieved. As such, they are "Monumental Goals" in that they are political goals aimed at complete systems. It is therefore essential to distinguish between "conformity Law", which simply consists of "complying" with the applicable regulations, and Compliance Law, which consists of contributing to the achievement of these "Monumental Goals", either by force (legal obligation) or by choice (raison d'être, company with mission, contractual obligation, CSR). In this respect, Compliance Law is both much more limited in its aims and much more ambitious, since it is about building the future rather than mechanically complying with regulations.
The banking sector, which can be considered an exception to the principle of Competition, which is based on extreme mobility and the absence of rents, the destruction of the weakest, risk-taking, the lack of solidity of the operator posing no problem, appears to be the paragon of the principle of Compliance, which is based on the sustainability of systems ensured by the solidity of the operators themselves, their solidarity, the exchange of information, and integrated supervisors. For example, the duty of vigilance and the information about others, and the Regulation through Supervision were born in this sector, which has internalised this sectoral concern in the banks, itself the bearer of a general concern, particularly in the European conception of continental banking. the European Banking Union increasing this concern.
As a result, banks will internalise concerns about the future that go beyond safeguarding the banking sector, such as preventing systemic climate risk or educating the population or safeguarding people in vulnerable situations.
____
The litigation that shall ensue is itself highly specific. The topic of this conference is to provide the keys to understanding how banks must play their part.
Emerging Compliance Litigation is systemic in nature. It is a reflection of the Ex Ante organisation whereby entities are asked to make a contribution to the achievement of Monumental Goals. In a dispute between two opposing parties, an individual or an NGO or a trade union or a municipality or a State and a bank, a conflict arises between what might be called the party claiming to represent the present and future interests of a system, for example the climate system or the social relations system, and the bank which has a legally imposed "compliance obligation" to help protect this system.
The author who described this perfectly was Chaïm Perelman, particularly in his 1978 book, Logique juridique, which describes audience circles.
We need to understand the systemic construction of the judicial instance.
The bank must not let to be confined itself solely to its role as litigant, while the other party, for example an NGO, in its role as guardian of "civil society" or the "climate system" or the "effective equality between human beings", going beyond this first circle between the litigants and brings the system itself into the proceedings.
This is where the adaptation has to take place.
________
This adaptation is procedural, evidentiary and substantive.
The procedural adaptation must take place even before any litigation, since there is a continuum between Ex Ante and Ex Post, with the Judicial System itself being just one accountability method (rendering of accounts) among others. This accountability takes place in relation to a ‘mission’ that is entrusted to the banks in relation to the goals: prevention, detection and the fight against corruption, money laundering, climate change, etc., by building alliances, making good use of information (knowing how to take it, knowing how not to pass it on, knowing how to pass it on).
The procedure, i.e. the way in which something is done, must reflect a substantial element, in that it engenders a ‘sense of responsibility’: the purpose of Compliance Law is to ‘make powers accountable’ and to build on positions of power. The proper procedure is to make ‘good use of one's power’ for the benefit of others. Techniques for ‘taking others into consideration’ are an essential element. Consideration by the person who agrees to exercise power (the power to finance, the power to gather information, the power to organise together, the power to contract).
Evidentiary’ adaptation: indifference of evidentiary obligations and rights to the procedural position of the parties. The firm has a ‘Compliance Obligation’ even if it is the defendant in the proceedings. The object of proof is given to it by the Monumental Goals that the Law or its own will require it to help achieve. Its burden is to show that it is helping to achieve these goals, by acting for the future (for example, by knowing its customers, or by taking into account the interests of its stakeholders, etc.).
______
► Structure of the speech:
I. The current situation: suffering the harmful consequences of reducing Compliance Law to the mechanics of "conformity".
II. The opportunity for banks to adapt by understanding Compliance Law and going beyond the mechanics of conformity: the European puzzle, its apparent complexity, its architectural clarity (CSRD/CS3D/DSA).
III. The opportunity for banks not to allow themselves to be trapped in proceedings that are merely sanctions, transferred from Ex Post to Ex Ante: the emergence of Systemic Compliance Litigations before the Ordinary Law Courts (French Law of 2017 on Vigilance; Paris Court of appeal decisions of 18 June 2024).
IV. What is expected of banks in Systemic Compliance and Vigilance Litigations before the Ordinary Courts, reflecting the dialogue and action required by Compliance Law (article to be published).
V. The opportunity for banks to adapt to the new evidentiary dimension of emerging Compliance and Vigilance Litigation (article to be published).
VI. The opportunity for banks to adapt to the new Ex Ante dimension of Systemic Compliance and Vigilance Litigation, Litigation which deals with the future (article to be published).
