II. – At the request of the debtor and with the authorisation of the juge-commissaire or the court, the liquidator may realise assets or rights that make up another estate of the entrepreneur or that cannot be seized by creditors whose rights arise in connection with the entrepreneur’s professional activity, where such a transfer facilitates the realisation of the assets of the estate seized by the effect of the opening of the judicial liquidation.
