Article L1235-10 of the French Labour Code

In undertakings with at least fifty employees, where the redundancy project concerns at least ten employees within the same thirty-day period, any redundancy carried out in the absence of any decision relating to validation or homologation or where a negative decision has been issued shall be null and void.

In the event of cancellation of a validation decision referred to in Article L. 1233-57-2 or a homologation decision referred to in Article L. 1233-57-3 due to the absence or inadequacy of the job protection plan referred to in Article L. 1233-61, the redundancy procedure is null and void.

The first two paragraphs do not apply to companies in receivership or liquidation.

Article L1235-10

Dans les entreprises d’au moins cinquante salariés, lorsque le projet de licenciement concerne au moins dix salariés dans une même période de trente jours, le licenciement intervenu en l’absence de toute décision relative à la validation ou à l’homologation ou alors qu’une décision négative a été rendue est nul.

En cas d’annulation d’une décision de validation mentionnée à l’article L. 1233-57-2 ou d’homologation mentionnée à l’article L. 1233-57-3 en raison d’une absence ou d’une insuffisance de plan de sauvegarde de l’emploi mentionné à l’article L. 1233-61, la procédure de licenciement est nulle.

Les deux premiers alinéas ne sont pas applicables aux entreprises en redressement ou liquidation judiciaires.
