Court-appointed administrators are agents, natural or legal persons, entrusted by court order with administering the assets of others or performing assistance or supervisory functions in the management of those assets.
The tasks involved in carrying out their mandate are the personal responsibility of the court-appointed administrators. They may, however, delegate all or part of these tasks to a salaried court-appointed administrator, under their responsibility. They may also, where the smooth running of the proceedings so requires and with the reasoned authorisation of the president of the court, entrust some of these tasks to third parties under their responsibility.
When the court-appointed administrators entrust third parties with tasks that fall within the scope of the mission entrusted to them by the court, they remunerate them out of the remuneration they receive.
