French term or phrase: mesure opérante sur un litige ultérieur crédible
From submissions on the admissibility of an interlocutory application to appoint an expert:

La recevabilité de l’action basée sur l’article 145 du Code de procédure civile suppose la réunion de deux critères : d’une part, la légitimité de l’action et, d’autre part, l’existence d’une mesure opérante sur un litige ultérieur crédible.

measure relates to likely future litigation


Explanation:
Here is article 145:

S'il existe un motif légitime de conserver ou d'établir avant tout procès la preuve de faits dont pourrait dépendre la solution d'un litige, les mesures d'instruction légalement admissibles peuvent être ordonnées à la demande de tout intéressé, sur requête ou en référé.

If I understand this correctly, a party may ask a court to order that evidence be assembled (in this case by appointing an expert witness) or safeguarded (perhaps against destruction), if it can provide credible evidence that litigation will take place at some future date.

In other words, that it's not wasting the court's time when the litigation is unlikely to take place.

Explanation:
Mesure might be better circumscribed as relief, like an order for disclosure, rather than a 'step taken (suually by one party) in the proceedings' (acte de procédure).

I'm sure there's a similiar test in ENG law for an injunction e.g. the likelihood of a successful round of litigation and a 'realistic prospect of success'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Posted in case law and tagged appeal, gloss, meeting the test for an appeal, permission to appeal, Re H v G, real prospect of success, what does real prospect of success mean-
