The opening judgment shall stop the accrual of legal and contractual interest, as well as all late payment interest and surcharges, unless it concerns interest resulting from loan contracts concluded for a term equal to or greater than one year or contracts with a deferred payment of one year or more. Natural persons who are co-obligated or who have granted a personal guarantee or who have assigned or transferred an asset as security may take advantage of the provisions of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1343-2 of the Civil Code, interest due on such claims may not accrue.
The opening judgment suspends any action against natural persons who are co-obligated or who have granted a personal guarantee or who have assigned or transferred an asset as security until the judgment adopting the plan or pronouncing the liquidation. The court may then grant them deadlines or deferred payment up to a maximum of two years.
Creditors benefiting from these guarantees may take protective measures.
