When an item that has been pledged as collateral for a loan is claimed by a person other than the borrower, on the grounds of theft or any other cause, the Caisse remains the receiver of the item, which cannot therefore be the subject of a requisition for seizure prior to the outcome of the legal proceedings.
The person claiming the item must, in order to obtain its return :
1° to prove, in the legally prescribed manner, his right of ownership to the item in question ;
2° repay, in principal, interest and fees, the sum for which the item was pledged; this is without prejudice to any actions that this person may bring against the depositor, the borrower and the third party guarantor, as well as against the director or other employees of the establishment, in the event of fraud, theft or negligence.
