For the application of the fourth paragraph of Article L. 621-7, the matter is referred to the official receiver by means of a petition filed with or addressed to the court registry. The clerk of the court convenes the applicant and, as the case may be, the administrator, the mandataire judiciaire or the expert by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt; he notifies the public prosecutor of the date of the hearing.
When an application to replace the administrator, the expert or the mandataire judiciaire is brought before the court by the public prosecutor or by the juge-commissaire or when the court is seised of its own motion for the same purposes, the summons of the person whose replacement or removal is in question shall be made in the forms and according to the procedure provided for in article R. 631-3 or R. 631-4, as applicable. The same applies when an application for the dismissal of one of the auditors is brought before the court by the public prosecutor.
The court rules after receiving the opinion of the public prosecutor, if the latter is not the applicant.
The foregoing provisions apply for the addition of one or more administrators or one or more judicial representatives.
When the administrator or the judicial representative requests his replacement pursuant to the sixth paragraph of Article L. 621-7, the request is made by simple letter addressed to the official receiver. The order issued by the president of the court is communicated to the public prosecutor by the court clerk, who notifies, by simple letter, the administrator or the judicial representative who is being replaced, the administrator or the judicial representative appointed to replace him and the debtor.
