Article L143-15 of the French Commercial code

The successful bidder is obliged to take the equipment and goods existing at the time of taking possession, at the prices set by an amicable or judicial expertise, contradictorily between the outbid buyer, his seller and the successful bidder.

It is obliged, over and above its auction price, to reimburse the dispossessed purchaser for the costs and fair costs of its contract, those of notifications, those of registration and advertising provided for by the articles L. 141-6 à L. 141-18, and, to whom it may concern, those made to achieve resale.

Article L. 143-9 is applicable to the sale and the higher bid auction.

The outbid buyer, who becomes the successful bidder as a result of the outbid resale, has his recourse as of right against the seller for the reimbursement of what exceeds the price stipulated by his title and for interest on this excess from the day of each payment.

Article L143-15

L’adjudicataire est tenu de prendre le matériel et les marchandises existant au moment de la prise de possession, aux prix fixés par une expertise amiable ou judiciaire, contradictoirement entre l’acquéreur surenchéri, son vendeur et l’adjudicataire.

Il est tenu, au-delà de son prix d’adjudication, de rembourser à l’acquéreur dépossédé les frais et loyaux coûts de son contrat, ceux des notifications, ceux d’inscription et de publicité prévus par les articles L. 141-6 à L. 141-18, et, à qui de droit, ceux faits pour parvenir à la revente.

L’article L. 143-9 est applicable à la vente et à l’adjudication sur surenchère.

L’acquéreur surenchéri, qui se rend adjudicataire par suite de la revente sur surenchère, a son recours tel que de droit contre le vendeur pour le remboursement de ce qui excède le prix stipulé par son titre et pour l’intérêt de cet excédent à compter du jour de chaque paiement.
