Substitution in the rights of the defaulting claimant shall be made by way of incidental application.
Where the court grants a request for substitution of a defaulting claimant, it shall rule, upon receipt of submissions to that effect, on the transfer of all or part of the advance that may have been awarded pursuant to the dispositions de l’article 68 de la loi du 18 novembre 2016 susmentionnée.
Substitution entails the transfer of the mandate given by the interested parties to the substituted applicant.
The defaulting applicant is required to hand over the documents and funds held, where applicable on behalf of the interested parties, to the applicant being replaced, who shall acknowledge receipt thereof. The defaulting claimant is not relieved of its obligations until such time as the documents are handed over.
