Article L742-3 of the French Consumer Code

When the judge is seised with a view to opening personal recovery proceedings with judicial liquidation, he summons the debtor and known creditors to a hearing. The judge, after hearing the debtor if he appears and assessing the irremediably compromised nature of his situation as well as his good faith, renders a judgment pronouncing the opening of the procedure.

Le juge, après avoir entendu le débiteur s’il se présente et apprécié le caractère irrémédiablement compromis de sa situation ainsi que sa bonne foi, rend un jugement prononçant l’ouverture de la procédure.
