"procedural act" is a correct and usable term in written English.
It refers to a specific action or step that is part of a larger procedure or process. You can use "procedural act" when talking about legal proceedings, bureaucratic processes, or any other situation where there are specific steps or actions that need to be taken. For example, in a court case, a judge might say, "The next procedural act is for the prosecution to present their evidence." This means that the next step in the legal process is for the prosecution to present the evidence they have against the defendant. Another example could be in a government office, where an employee might say, "Filling out this form is a necessary procedural act in order to receive your permit." This means that filling out the form is a required step in the process of obtaining the permit.
