German term

Auffangordnung

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) legislation
From a scholarly treatise dicussing the relationship between public and private legislation:

Jedenfalls wird man stärker als bisher auch in bezug auf die Normsetzung über das Verhältnis zwischen öffentlichem Recht und Privatrecht im Sinne gegenseitiger Auffangordnungen nachdenken müssen.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

support system/regulatory system

I would think *mutual support system* might work. If the context goes more towards controlling each other, then *mutual regulatory system* might be better.
Peer comment(s):

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
