Maybe too obvious an answer to this but if I were a betting man I'd say the control law remains ground law. That is the deflection of surfaces is directly proportional to side stick deflection. I can't think what effect the lack of FAC would have. (Other than the obvious ECAM warning).

Thanks for the reply
I have observed when the FACs are off during taxi (20-30kt) it causes the rudder to stay centred in a strong crosswind.
So is it fair to say in ground law, a control surface such as the rudder has minimal inputs in a strong cross wind, and with FACs off this law beomes a type of direct law i.e a sort of degraded ground law?
Thanks
