In a biomedical research agreeement:
L'lnvestigateur Principal avisera immédiatement le Promoteur, par écrit, si toute personne prestataire des services aux termes du Contrat, est reconnue indigne ou en cas de toute poursuite, réclamation, enquête ou procédure administrative ou juridique en cours ou ***en provision***, selon toute information portée a sa connaissance, concernant lui-meme ou toute autre personne prestataire des services aux termes des présentes.
I am thinking something like "planned" or "filed" but am having a hard time determining exactly what this refers to. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

: Yes, it means just this. It's a typo, too; it should read "en prévision."

Typo for "prévision"?

threatened
I think the "en cours" is pending, whereas "en prévision" is more like "threatened", as in someone is threatening to sue. The literal translation might be "planned" but I am not sure whether that's how someone would write the document in English.
