If the secured debt is not paid, the creditor may pursue the sale of the pledged asset. This sale shall take place in accordance with the procedures set out in the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures, without the pledge agreement being able to derogate therefrom.
Where the pledge is constituted as security for a professional debt, the creditor may arrange for the public sale of the pledged property by a notary, bailiff, judicial auctioneer or sworn goods broker, eight days after a simple notification made to the debtor and, where applicable, to the third party constituting the pledge.
