Unless, in the judgment opening the proceedings, a public officer or a sworn goods broker has been appointed to draw up the inventory, it shall be drawn up by the debtor and certified by an auditor or attested by a chartered accountant. The provisions of the fourth paragraph of Article L. 622-6 shall not apply in this case.
If the debtor does not initiate the inventory operations within eight days of the opening judgment or does not complete them within a period set by this judgment, the official receiver shall appoint a judicial auctioneer, a bailiff, a notary or a sworn goods broker to carry out or complete them in consideration of their respective powers as they result from the provisions applicable to them. The matter is referred to it by the administrator, the judicial representative or the public prosecutor. It may also refer the matter to itself. The time limit set for completing the inventory operations may be extended by the official receiver.
