Article L741-5 of the French Consumer Code

Before ruling, the judge may publish a call for creditors.

He may verify, even of his own motion, the validity of the claims and the documents evidencing them as well as the amount of the sums claimed and ensure that the debtor is indeed in the situation referred to in article L. 711-1.

It may also prescribe any investigative measure it deems useful.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the judge may obtain any information enabling him to assess the debtor’s situation and possible changes to it.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L741-5

Avant de statuer, le juge peut faire publier un appel aux créanciers.

Il peut vérifier, même d’office, la validité des créances et des titres qui les constatent ainsi que le montant des sommes réclamées et s’assurer que le débiteur se trouve bien dans la situation mentionnée à l’article L. 711-1.

Il peut également prescrire toute mesure d’instruction qu’il estime utile.

Nonobstant toute disposition contraire, le juge peut obtenir communication de tout renseignement lui permettant d’apprécier la situation du débiteur et l’évolution possible de celle-ci.
