Oh my.
ALTERNATE LAW
(...)
Handling Characteristics (...)
In Roll, depending on the failure level, control is either normal (ALTN 1) or direct (ALTN 2). In roll direct, the aircraft appears to be very sensitive and bank stability is no longer active.

DIRECT LAW
(...)
Handling Characteristics
The handling characteristics are similar to a conventional aircraft. (...) In roll, aileron and spoiler deflection is proportional to sidestick deflection. Direct law works with the yaw damper to provide a minimal turn coordination.
I can't believe we're debating again what flight law they were in.
