Article L732-3 of the French Consumer Code

The plan sets out the arrangements for its implementation. Its total duration, including when it is revised or renewed, may not exceed seven years.

The measures may, however, exceed this duration when they concern the repayment of loans taken out for the purchase of a property constituting the debtor’s principal residence, the sale of which they make it possible to avoid, or when they enable the debtor to repay all of his debts while avoiding the sale of the property constituting his principal residence.

Creditors have a period set by decree in which to reject the proposed conventional recovery plan drawn up by the commission. In the absence of a response within this period, the creditors’ agreement is deemed to have been reached.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L732-3

Le plan prévoit les modalités de son exécution. Sa durée totale, y compris lorsqu’il fait l’objet d’une révision ou d’un renouvellement, ne peut excéder sept années.

Les mesures peuvent cependant excéder cette durée lorsqu’elles concernent le remboursement de prêts contractés pour l’achat d’un bien immobilier constituant la résidence principale du débiteur dont elles permettent d’éviter la cession ou lorsqu’elles permettent au débiteur de rembourser la totalité de ses dettes tout en évitant la cession du bien immobilier constituant sa résidence principale.

Les créanciers disposent d’un délai fixé par décret pour refuser la proposition de plan conventionnel de redressement élaborée par la commission. En l’absence de réponse dans ce délai, l’accord des créanciers est réputé acquis.
