In the event that the company goes into compulsory liquidation, concessions awarded on the basis of article L. 300-4 of the town planning code or public service delegation contracts are automatically terminated and the assets contributed by the latter and included in the scope of the agreement or concession are returned to the territorial authority or grouping free of charge.
On pain of nullity, the concession or public service delegation contract includes a clause stipulating, for the case referred to in the previous paragraph, the conditions for compensation by the local authority or grouping for the non-depreciated portion of the assets acquired or created by the company and allocated to the assets of the operation or service, over which they exercise their right of return or repossession. The resulting amount of compensation is paid to the company, after deduction, where applicable, of the financial contributions of the local authority or grouping for the unused portion thereof and of payments corresponding to the performance of a guarantee granted for the financing of the operation.
