Article 1281-15 of the French Code of civil procedure

The requisition for the purpose of selling the property by auction may be contested by summons to appear before the judicial court within whose jurisdiction the property is located.

This summons must, on pain of inadmissibility, be served within fifteen days of notification of the requisition deed.

If the challenge is admitted, the act of requisition is declared null and void and the third party purchaser maintained in his rights, unless other outbids have been made by other creditors.

Article 1281-15

La réquisition aux fins de vente aux enchères de l’immeuble peut être contestée par assignation à comparaître devant le tribunal judiciaire dans le ressort duquel est situé l’immeuble.

Cette assignation doit, à peine d’irrecevabilité, être formée dans un délai de quinze jours suivant la notification de l’acte de réquisition.

Si la contestation est admise, l’acte de réquisition est déclaré nul et le tiers acquéreur maintenu dans ses droits, à moins qu’il n’ait été fait d’autres surenchères par d’autres créanciers.
