The approval of the persons in charge of the inspection takes effect after they have taken an oath before the judicial court of their place of residence or before the court of Paris, stating: “I swear to carry out with accuracy and probity all inspections, investigations, findings and operations falling within the scope of my mission. I also swear not to reveal or use anything brought to my knowledge in the course of my duties”.
In the event of a serious impediment, the president of the judicial court may authorise the person responsible for the inspection to take the oath in writing.
Only one oath is taken.
