Considérant qu’il appartient en principe au juge d’appliquer les règles définies ci-dessus qui, prises dans leur ensemble, n’apportent pas de limitation au droit fondamental qu’est le droit au recours ; que toutefois, eu égard à l’impératif de sécurité juridique **** tenant à ce qu’ **** il ne soit pas porté une atteinte excessive aux relations contractuelles en cours et sous réserve des actions en justice ayant le même objet et déjà engagées avant la date de lecture de la présente décision, le recours ci-dessus défini ne pourra être exercé qu’à l’encontre des contrats dont la procédure de passation a été engagée postérieurement à cette date ;
HI I AM REALLY STRUGGLING TO TRANSLATE "TENANT A CE QUE" IN THIS CONTEXT. IN ANOTHER CONTEXT, TENIR A QUELQUE CHOSE MEANS TO WANT SOMETHING BUT HERE IT SEEMS TO GIVE A DESCRIPTION, AN EXPLANATION OF SOMETHING MENTIONED BEFORE, IN THIS CASE IT EXPLAINS THE IMPERATIF DE SECURITE JURIDIQUE (PRINCIPLE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY). CAN I TRANSLATE LIKE THIS: THE PRINCIPLE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY ****ACCORDING TO WHICH**** ... OR **** WHICH CONSISTS IN***...?

Hello,
I thought that "tenant à ce qu" means "to dictate" in a legal sense.
impératif (singular in French) = requirements
sécurité judiciaire = legal certainty ("legal security" can be said, I believe)
eu égard = considering
...considering the requirements of legal certainty, dictating that no harm be done to contractual relations...
I hope this helps.

requires that
As usual, the French appellate court opinion is unnecessarily wordy. To spare the English reader having to go out back to shoot himself before he gets to the end, we can simplify "whereas, however, the principle of legal certainty, which requires that existing contractual relationships not be unduly impaired" to "since legal certainty requires that existing contracts not be unduly impaired". In either case, 'tenant a ce que' is 'requires that', since that is what the principle of legal certainty/legal certainty does-- it requires that contracts not be impaired by ex post facto laws, decisions etc.
