Note from asker:
Merci - après mon barbarisme d'hier (misfulfil) je n'osais plus utiliser le "mis"something ;-)
Peer comment(s):

agree Attorney DC Bar : But there are no ghits for that phrase. It's just a 'mismanagement claim' or an 'action for mismanagement. No need to spell out that it's in tort. If you want to be more specific, but use a less common phrase, say "Action for damages for mismanagement".

misfeasance proceeding(s)

No need for the tort word, as implied by the term of misfeasance cf. mal- and non-feasance.

Also related is an action en comblement du passif: the members, directors or officers may be forced to pay up out of their own pockets.
