Article L643-4 of the French Commercial code

If one or more distributions of sums precede the distribution of the price of the immovables, the preferential and mortgage creditors admitted shall contribute to the distributions in proportion to their total claims.

After the sale of the immovables and the final settlement of the order between the mortgage creditors and preferential creditors, those of them who rank in good standing on the price of the immovables for the totality of their claim shall receive the amount of their mortgage collocation only after deduction of the sums by them received.

The sums thus deducted shall benefit the unsecured creditors.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L643-4

Si une ou plusieurs distributions de sommes précèdent la répartition du prix des immeubles, les créanciers privilégiés et hypothécaires admis concourent aux répartitions dans la proportion de leurs créances totales.

Après la vente des immeubles et le règlement définitif de l’ordre entre les créanciers hypothécaires et privilégiés, ceux d’entre eux qui viennent en rang utile sur le prix des immeubles pour la totalité de leur créance ne perçoivent le montant de leur collocation hypothécaire que sous la déduction des sommes par eux reçues.

Les sommes ainsi déduites profitent aux créanciers chirographaires.
