Article R3252-44 of the French Labour Code

In the event of a change of employer, the seizure may be continued by the new employer, without prior conciliation, if the request is made within one year of the notice given by the former employer. Failing this, the seizure is terminated and the funds are distributed.

If, in addition, the debtor has transferred the place where he resides to the jurisdiction of another judicial court, the creditor is also exempted from prior conciliation provided that the application for seizure is made at the registry of the enforcement judge of that court within the period provided for in the first paragraph.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R3252-44

En cas de changement d’employeur, la saisie peut être poursuivie par le nouvel employeur, sans conciliation préalable, si la demande est faite dans l’année qui suit l’avis donné par l’ancien employeur. A défaut, la saisie prend fin et les fonds sont répartis.


Si, en outre, le débiteur a transféré le lieu où il demeure dans le ressort d’un autre tribunal judiciaire, le créancier est également dispensé de conciliation préalable à la condition que la demande de saisie soit faite au greffe du juge de l’exécution de ce tribunal dans le délai prévu au premier alinéa.
