In execution of the plan approved by the court, the liquidator or the administrator, where one has been appointed, shall take all necessary steps to complete the transfer. Pending the completion of these acts and upon proof of the deposit of the transfer price or an equivalent guarantee, the court may entrust the transferee, at its request and under its responsibility, with the management of the transferred business.

Where the transfer includes a business, no higher bid is allowed.

En exécution du plan arrêté par le tribunal, le liquidateur ou l’administrateur lorsqu’il en a été désigné passe tous les actes nécessaires à la réalisation de la cession.
