Article L322-15 of the French Commercial code

Judicial sales of wholesale goods authorised under Article L. 322-14 as well as all those authorised or ordered by consular justice in the various cases provided for by this code are carried out by sworn goods brokers.

However, it is always up to the court or judge authorising or ordering the sale to appoint a judicial auctioneer, bailiff or notary to carry it out. In this case, the public officer, whoever he may be, is subject to the provisions governing sworn goods brokers with regard to forms, rates and liability.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L322-15

Les ventes judiciaires de marchandises en gros autorisées en vertu de l’article L. 322-14 ainsi que toutes celles qui sont autorisées ou ordonnées par la justice consulaire dans les divers cas prévus par le présent code sont faites par des courtiers de marchandises assermentés.

Néanmoins, il appartient toujours au tribunal ou au juge qui autorise ou ordonne la vente de désigner, pour y procéder, un commissaire-priseur judiciaire, un huissier de justice ou un notaire. Dans ce cas, l’officier public, quel qu’il soit, est soumis aux dispositions qui régissent les courtiers de marchandises assermentés relativement aux formes, aux tarifs et à la responsabilité.
