In the event of the opening of safeguard, reorganisation or liquidation proceedings in respect of a credit institution or an investment firm, the guarantee fund and the depositors are exempt from the declaration provided for in Article L. 622-24 of the French Commercial Code in respect of their claims falling wholly or partly within the scope of intervention of the fund.
The fund informs the depositors of the amount of the claims excluded from the scope of intervention and specifies the procedures for declaring these claims to the judicial representative.
The judicial representative draws up statements of all claims. These statements must be approved by the bankruptcy judge, filed with the commercial court registry and published. In the event of a dispute, the depositor must bring the matter before the court within two months of the date of publication.
A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall set the conditions for the application of this article.
