Law/Patents - Law (general) / legislation
German term or phrase: Auffangordnung
From a scholarly treatise dicussing the relationship between public and private legislation:

support system/regulatory system
Explanation:
I would think *mutual support system* might work. If the context goes more towards controlling each other, then *mutual regulatory system* might be better.

agree  Teresa Reinhardt: in principle, but I'd prefer back-up systems - when one fails, the other will catch it (and vice versa)

  -> I like that too. Thank you

agree  Raghunathan Rajagopalan: with Teressa. You can call back-up / support / cushioning or help, but certainly not regulatory system
