The juge-commissaire may, ex officio or at the request of the liquidator or a creditor, order provisional payment of a share of a claim that has been definitively admitted.
This provisional payment may be subject to the presentation by its beneficiary of a guarantee from a credit institution or finance company.
In the event that the request for a provisional payment relates to a preferential claim of the financial authorities, social security bodies, institutions managing the unemployment insurance scheme provided for in Articles L. 5422-1 et seq. of the Labour Code and institutions governed by Book IX of the Social Security Code, the guarantee provided for in the second paragraph is not due.
