When the amendment provided for in Article R. 743-158 affects the jurisdiction of a judicial court ruling in commercial matters or the registry of a mixed commercial court, it gives rise to compensation under the following conditions:

1° In the event of an increase in the jurisdiction of the judicial court, the registrars of the commercial courts shall be compensated by the State for the abolition of their office or the reduction in their territorial jurisdiction;

2° In the event of a reduction in the jurisdiction of the judicial court, the abolition of its commercial jurisdiction or where the registry is entrusted to a registrar of a commercial court, the registrars of the commercial courts that are created or whose jurisdiction is increased or the registrars whose office is created shall pay compensation to the State.

In all cases, the amount of compensation is set by joint order of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, and the Minister for the Budget.

Lorsque la modification prévue à l’article R. 743-158 affecte le ressort d’un tribunal judiciaire statuant en matière commerciale ou le greffe d’un tribunal mixte de commerce, elle donne lieu à indemnisation dans les conditions suivantes :

1° En cas d’augmentation du ressort du tribunal judiciaire, les greffiers des tribunaux de commerce sont indemnisés par l’Etat à raison de la suppression de leur office ou de la diminution de leur compétence territoriale ;

2° En cas de réduction du ressort du tribunal judiciaire, de suppression de sa compétence commerciale ou lorsque le greffe est confié à un greffier de tribunal de commerce, les greffiers des tribunaux de commerce qui sont créés ou dont le ressort est agrandi ou les greffiers dont l’office est créé versent une indemnité à l’Etat.

Dans tous les cas, le montant des indemnités est fixé par arrêté conjoint du garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, et du ministre chargé du budget.
