Article R643-2 of the French Commercial code

The official receiver, on receiving an application from a creditor on the basis of article L. 643-3, shall rule after receiving the opinion of the liquidator in the light of the documents supporting the definitive admission of the claim for which provisional payment is requested and, where applicable, the guarantee provided for in the second paragraph of the aforementioned article.

The provisional payment shall be allocated up to an amount determined on the basis of the existence, amount and ranking of other claims, due or likely to be subsequently due.

On order of the juge-commissaire, funds unduly paid shall be returned on first request of the liquidator.

Le juge-commissaire, saisi de la demande d’un créancier sur le fondement de l’article L. 643-3, statue après avis du liquidateur au vu des documents justificatifs de l’admission définitive de la créance dont il est demandé un paiement provisionnel et, le cas échéant, de la garantie prévue au second alinéa de l’article susmentionné.

La provision est allouée à hauteur d’un montant déterminé en fonction de l’existence, du montant et du rang des autres créances, dues ou susceptibles d’être ultérieurement dues.

Sur ordonnance du juge-commissaire, les fonds indûment versés sont restitués sur première demande du liquidateur.
