Article D514-12 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

If the institution loses all or part of the pledged item, the borrower is compensated by paying a sum equal to the appraised value of the item. This sum is increased by a fixed indemnity of 25%. The amount of this flat-rate compensation may be increased by a decision of the Guidance and Supervisory Board, if the Director refers the matter to it for this purpose.
