Article L522-36 of the French Commercial code

A person who has lost a receipt or warrant may request and obtain by order of the judge, by proving his ownership and giving security, a duplicate in the case of the receipt, payment of the secured debt in the case of the warrant.

If in this case the subscriber of the warrant has not paid up on the due date, the third party bearer whose endorsement has been transcribed on the registers of the general shop may be authorised by order of the judge, subject to providing security, to proceed with the sale of the goods committed under the conditions determined in article L. 522-31.

The protest provided for in the said article shall give a copy of the particulars as they appear on the register of the general shop.

Article L522-36

Celui qui a perdu un récépissé ou un warrant peut demander et obtenir par ordonnance du juge, en justifiant de sa propriété et en donnant caution, un duplicata s’il s’agit du récépissé, le paiement de la créance garantie s’il s’agit du warrant.

Si dans ce cas le souscripteur du warrant ne s’est pas libéré à l’échéance, le tiers porteur dont l’endos aura été transcrit sur les registres du magasin général pourra être autorisé par ordonnance du juge, à charge de fournir caution, à faire procéder à la vente de la marchandise engagée dans les conditions déterminées à l’article L. 522-31.

Le protêt prévu audit article donne copie des mentions telles qu’elles figurent sur le registre du magasin général.
