1° If the financial situation of the company dissolved following the total withdrawal of administrative approval shows a shortfall in assets compared with the liabilities to be settled during the liquidation, the court may, in the event of mismanagement having contributed to this shortfall in assets, decide at the request of the liquidator or even ex officio that the company’s debts will be borne in whole or in part, with or without joint and several liability, by all or some of the de jure or de facto managers, whether paid or unpaid.
The limitation period is three years from the date on which the liquidator’s fourth half-yearly report is filed with the court registry.
