Article R641-40 of the French Commercial code

In application of Article L. 641-15, the liquidator may, by order of the juge-commissaire, ask the legal representative of the legal entity or the debtor who is a natural person or any other employee of the debtor who may receive useful information to automatically transfer electronic mail from their professional mailboxes to the electronic address that he designates to them.

To this end, the liquidator and, where applicable, the administrator may also request the assistance of any employee of the debtor.

The order of the official receiver shall designate the natural persons whose electronic mail is transferred to the liquidator and, where applicable, the administrator.

The liquidator and the administrator shall destroy without delay messages transferred that are not of a professional nature.

As soon as his assignment is completed, the administrator shall transfer to the liquidator any messages still in his possession. At the close of the liquidation, the liquidator shall destroy any transferred messages that he may have retained.

Article R641-40

En application de l’article L. 641-15, le liquidateur peut, sur ordonnance du juge-commissaire, demander au représentant légal de la personne morale ou au débiteur personne physique ou à tout autre salarié du débiteur pouvant recevoir des informations utiles de transférer de façon automatique le courrier électronique de leurs messageries professionnelles vers l’adresse électronique qu’il leur désigne.

A cette fin, le liquidateur et, le cas échéant, l’administrateur peuvent également requérir l’assistance de tout salarié du débiteur.

L’ordonnance du juge-commissaire désigne les personnes physiques dont le courrier électronique est transféré au liquidateur et, le cas échéant, à l’administrateur.

Le liquidateur et l’administrateur détruisent sans délai les messages transférés dépourvus de caractère professionnel.

Dès l’achèvement de sa mission, l’administrateur transfère au liquidateur les messages encore en sa possession. A la clôture de la liquidation, le liquidateur détruit les messages transférés qu’il a pu conserver.
