Where a payment incident is the fault of any one of the holders of a collective account, with or without joint and several liability, the provisions of articles L. 131-72 and L. 131-73 shall apply ipso jure to whichever of the holders has been designated for this purpose by mutual agreement, both in respect of this account and in respect of any other accounts of which he or she may be the individual holder. They also apply to the other account holders in respect of that account.
If, when a cheque is rejected for insufficient funds, the drawee establishes that no account holder has been designated under the conditions defined in the previous paragraph, the provisions of articles L. 131-72 and L. 131-73 are automatically applicable to all account holders in respect of this account and any other accounts of which they may be individual holders.
