The consignment receipts issued in Paris by the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations and, outside Paris, by its agents, briefly state the rulings, judgments, acts or causes giving rise to the said consignments; and in the event that the funds deposited come from a loan, and that there is reason to make a subrogation in favour of the lender, express mention is made of the declaration made by the depositor,…

Caisse des dépôts et consignations is authorised to receive voluntary deposits from individuals.

These voluntary deposits may only be made in Paris and in the form of legal tender coins or banknotes.

Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations and its agents may not, under any circumstances, demand custody fees or any other form of remuneration, either at the time of the deposit provided for in article R. 518-35 or at the time of its return.

The Caisse des dépôts et consignations is responsible for the sums deposited, for which it issues receipts. The voluntary depositor must, on the same receipt and by a declaration signed by him, elect an address for service in the city of Paris, which gives him jurisdiction for all matters relating to the said deposit, in accordance witharticle 111 of the Civil Code.

Voluntary deposits shall be returned to the depositor, his authorised representative or his successors in title at the time agreed in the deed of deposit or, if no time has been agreed, upon presentation. Those who retain their funds in this way will not be subject to any other condition than that of handing over the acknowledgement of the fund and signing their receipt.

Sums deposited voluntarily may only be seized in the cases, forms and under the conditions provided for in articles L. 211-1 to L. 211-5, L. 162-1 and L. 162-2, L. 511-1 to L. 511-4, L. 512-1 and L. 512-2 of the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures. Oppositions may nevertheless be received, without the said forms being observed, from the depositor who declares that he has lost his receipt.
