The valuation of items pledged by borrowers is carried out by judicial auctioneers, who are appointed for a renewable term of three years by the director of each municipal credit union.
Before making this appointment, or terminating the duties of a judicial auctioneer or a person authorised to carry out valuations, the Director shall seek the opinion of the Caisse’s Guidance and Supervisory Board. He shall also seek the opinion of the competent chamber of discipline of judicial auctioneers prior to each appointment of a judicial auctioneer. In the absence of a response from the disciplinary chamber within thirty days, its opinion is deemed to be favourable.
This article does not apply to the caisses de crédit municipal du Bas-Rhin, du Haut-Rhin et de la Moselle.
