Article L221-16 of the French Commercial code

When a judgment of compulsory liquidation or adopting a total disposal plan, a measure prohibiting the exercise of a commercial profession or a measure of incapacity has become final in respect of one of the partners, the company is dissolved, unless its continuation is provided for in the Articles of Association or the other partners unanimously decide to do so.

In the event of continuation, the value of the corporate rights to be reimbursed to the partner who loses that status is determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 1843-4 of the Civil Code. Any clause contrary to article 1843-4 of the said code is deemed unwritten.

Article L221-16

Lorsqu’un jugement de liquidation judiciaire ou arrêtant un plan de cession totale, une mesure d’interdiction d’exercer une profession commerciale ou une mesure d’incapacité est devenu définitif à l’égard de l’un des associés, la société est dissoute, à moins que sa continuation ne soit prévue par les statuts ou que les autres associés ne la décident à l’unanimité.

Dans le cas de continuation, la valeur des droits sociaux à rembourser à l’associé qui perd cette qualité est déterminée conformément aux dispositions de l’article 1843-4 du code civil. Toute clause contraire à l’article 1843-4 dudit code est réputée non écrite.
