Article L811-7-1 of the French Commercial code

A court-appointed administrator may exercise his profession as an employee of a natural or legal person registered on the list provided for in article L. 811-2.

A natural person registered on this list may not employ more than two salaried court-appointed administrators. A legal entity registered on the said list may not employ more than twice the number of salaried court-appointed administrators than the number of associate court-appointed administrators practising therein.

The employment contract of the salaried court-appointed administrator may not infringe the ethical rules of the profession of court-appointed administrator. Notwithstanding any clause in the employment contract, the salaried court-appointed administrator may refuse to accept an act from his employer or to carry out an assignment where such act or assignment appears to him to be contrary to his conscience or likely to undermine his independence. Any non-competition clause is deemed unwritten.

An employee director may not hold office in a personal capacity.

This Book shall apply to the salaried court-appointed administrator, unless otherwise provided.

Article L811-7-1

L’administrateur judiciaire peut exercer sa profession en qualité de salarié d’une personne physique ou morale inscrite sur la liste prévue à l’article L. 811-2.


Une personne physique inscrite sur cette liste ne peut pas employer plus de deux administrateurs judiciaires salariés. Une personne morale inscrite sur ladite liste ne peut pas employer un nombre d’administrateurs judiciaires salariés supérieur au double de celui des administrateurs judiciaires associés qui y exercent la profession.


Le contrat de travail de l’administrateur judiciaire salarié ne peut porter atteinte aux règles déontologiques de la profession d’administrateur judiciaire. Nonobstant toute clause du contrat de travail, l’administrateur judiciaire salarié peut refuser à son employeur de recevoir un acte ou d’accomplir une mission lorsque cet acte ou cette mission lui paraissent contraires à sa conscience ou susceptibles de porter atteinte à son indépendance. Toute clause de non-concurrence est réputée non écrite.


L’administrateur salarié ne peut avoir de mandat à titre personnel.


Le présent livre est applicable à l’administrateur judiciaire salarié, sauf disposition contraire.
