If the judgement is overturned requiring the case to be referred back to the court, the court of appeal may open a new observation period. This period is for a maximum of three months.

In the event of an appeal against the judgment ruling on the judicial liquidation during the observation period or adopting or rejecting the safeguard plan or the judicial recovery plan and where provisional enforcement is halted, the observation period is extended until the judgment of the court of appeal.
