If no agreement is reached, the agent in charge of the sale draws up a report setting out the difficulties encountered; he or she attaches the documents required to resolve the dispute and immediately refers the matter to the enforcement judge at the place of sale, forwarding the file to him or her.

The judge may decide that the costs incurred by the dispute are to be deducted provisionally from these sums.
