Article L141-14 of the French Commercial code

Within ten days of the latest of the publications provided for in article L. 141-12, any creditor of the previous owner, whether or not their claim is due and payable, may lodge an objection to the payment of the price at their elected domicile, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The objection, on pain of nullity, shall state the amount and grounds of the claim and contain an election of domicile within the jurisdiction where the land is located. Notwithstanding any stipulation to the contrary, the lessor may not lodge an objection in respect of current or future rents. No amicable or judicial transfer of the price or part of the price shall be enforceable against creditors who have made themselves known within this period.

Article L141-14

Dans les dix jours suivant la dernière en date des publications prévues à l’article L. 141-12, tout créancier du précédent propriétaire, que sa créance soit ou non exigible, peut former au domicile élu, par acte extrajudiciaire ou par lettre recommandée avec demande d’avis de réception, opposition au paiement du prix. L’opposition, à peine de nullité, énonce le chiffre et les causes de la créance et contient une élection de domicile dans le ressort de la situation du fonds. Le bailleur ne peut former opposition pour loyers en cours ou à échoir, et ce, nonobstant toutes stipulations contraires. Aucun transport amiable ou judiciaire du prix ou de partie du prix n’est opposable aux créanciers qui se sont ainsi fait connaître dans ce délai.
