Article D514-11 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

In the event of loss of the acknowledgement of deposit of a pledged item, the borrower must immediately inform the institution. The institution shall record this loss in the deed referred to in II of article D. 514-9 or on the computer medium on which the deed was recorded.

In this case, the borrower may only obtain the return of the pledged item at the end of the repayment period for the loan secured by the item. Where the borrower is authorised to withdraw the pledged item, or to receive the profit from its sale, he must give a special release, with a guarantee from a person recognised as solvent.

Article D514-11

En cas de perte de la reconnaissance de dépôt d’un objet en gage, l’emprunteur doit en informer immédiatement l’établissement. Celui-ci porte la mention de cette perte dans l’acte mentionné au II de l’article D. 514-9 ou sur le support informatique ayant enregistré cet acte.

Dans ce cas, l’emprunteur ne peut obtenir la restitution de l’objet gagé qu’à l’échéance de l’amortissement du prêt que garantit l’objet. Lorsque l’emprunteur est autorisé à retirer le bien remis en gage, ou à recevoir le boni résultant de sa vente, il est tenu d’en donner une décharge spéciale, avec caution d’une personne reconnue solvable.
