a public policy enactment; a policing statute
Explanation:
More background context needed.

Loi de police is ambiguous and cuts across both Loi sur la police = Police Forces Act and admin. police = ordre public/ public policy.

Why would a demanderesse in a civil case want to invoke such a law?

FHS Bridge: Loi de police > law & order regulation.

Thank you - I found "police regulations" just like everyone else, but it just didn't fit the context here.

lex fori


Explanation:
Aux termes de l'article 7 de cette Convention de Rome, un juge devra appliquer les lois de police de son Etat (le juge du for applique les lois de police de son for). Il pourra également appliquer (mais les lois de police du for ont priorité) les lois de police d'un autre Etat avec lequel la situation présente un lien étroit (cette seconde solution est facultative pour le juge et est subordonnée à l'existence du lien étroit).

Par loi de police, il faut entendre les dispositions que la loi d'un pays rend applicables quelle que soit la loi régissant le contrat.

Ainsi, cette disposition simplifie un peu la question, puisque les dispositions des lois de transpositions sont toutes, dans les cas qu'elles définissent, des lois de police internationales, et que chaque juge (français, italien, espagnol...) devra appliquer la loi de police de son pays si les cas d'application qu'elle prévoit sont remplis.

http://www.fidal.fr/Fichiers_articles/affichage.cfm?num=87


Subject to any subsequent judicial control provided for under the lex fori, the arbitrator whose jurisdiction is called in question shall be entitled to proceed with the arbitration, to rule on his own jurisdiction and to decide upon the existence or the validity of the arbitration agreement or of the contract of which the agreement forms part.

http://www.jurisint.org/pub/01/en/doc/153_1.htm


Par ailleurs, si les conventions internationales posent elles-mêmes le principe de l’autonomie de la volonté, c’est-à-dire qu’elles valident le choix fait par les parties au contrat, ce choix ne saurait toutefois prévaloir face à une loi de défense du consommateur, car cette loi sera une loi de police à laquelle il vous sera impossible de déroger
