Sorry I can't help with the French, but just for interest the correct
English is 'whichever is the later' (comparative of 'late'). It is
indeed a very common phrase in legal contracts etc.  'Latest' would be
used where there are more than two alternatives.

Sorry I can't help more!

Pedantic greetings from
