In the event of a transfer of the business, the registered claims become due ipso jure if the owner of the business has not notified the registered creditors, at least fifteen days in advance, of his intention to transfer the business and of the new registered office he intends to give it.
Within fifteen days of the notice to be served on him or within fifteen days of the day on which he became aware of the transfer, the most diligent registered creditor shall cause the new registered office of the business to be mentioned in the margin of the initial registration.
The transfer of the business, without the consent of the seller or of the registered creditors, may, if it results in a depreciation of the business, render their claims due and payable.
The registration of a pledge may also render due and payable previous claims arising from the operation of the business.
Applications for forfeiture of the term made under the two preceding paragraphs before the Commercial Court are subject to the procedural rules laid down by the fourth paragraph of Article L. 143-4.
