Section 2: Operation by a société civile professionnelle (non-trading professional partnership)

The nullity or dissolution of the company may not be relied on as against third parties until the publication formalities relating to the nullity or dissolution provided for below have been completed.

A copy of any final court decision declaring the company null and void shall, at the request of the public prosecutor, be filed with the trade and company register in which the company is registered and sent to the director general of the regional health agency and to the councils of the association to which the members belong.

Early dissolution may be decided by at least three quarters of the members. A copy of this decision is filed by the legal representative(s) with the Trade and Companies Register in which the company is registered and sent to the Director General of the Regional Health Agency and to the Councils of the Association to which the members belong.

The company is dissolved ipso jure if all the partners have been struck off the roll of the relevant Association. Decisions to strike off the roll are filed with the Trade and Companies Register by the relevant Bar Council.

The company is automatically dissolved by the simultaneous death of all the partners or by the death of the last partner.
