The president of the court may, at the request of a debtor, appoint a mandataire ad hoc whose mission he determines. The debtor may propose the name of a mandataire ad hoc. The decision appointing the ad hoc mandatary is communicated for information to the statutory auditors where one has been appointed.
The competent court is the commercial court if the debtor carries on a commercial or craft business and the judicial court in other cases.
The debtor is not required to inform the social and economic committee of the appointment of an ad hoc mandatary.
