A judicial administrator who is the subject of criminal or disciplinary proceedings may be provisionally suspended from performing his duties by the judicial court of the place where he is established.
In urgent cases, provisional suspension may be ordered even before criminal or disciplinary proceedings have been instituted if inspections or checks have revealed risks to the sums received by the judicial administrator by virtue of his duties.
The court may, at any time, at the request of either the Government Commissioner or the judicial administrator, terminate the provisional suspension.
The suspension ceases ipso jure as soon as the criminal or disciplinary proceedings are extinguished. It also ceases ipso jure, in the case provided for in the second paragraph, if, at the end of a period of one month from its pronouncement, no criminal or disciplinary proceedings have been initiated.
