Article R321-45-1 of the French Commercial code

The Government Commissioner acknowledges receipt of the complaint and indicates that its author will be informed of the action that will be taken.

If the Government Commissioner considers that a claim is inadmissible or manifestly ill-founded, he will immediately inform the claimant, indicating that he does not intend to take any further action.

If this is not the case, the Government Commissioner will investigate the claim. The Commissioner may obtain from the complainant or the professional concerned any information or documents required to investigate the complaint and may hold any hearings that may be necessary.

Article R321-45-1

Le commissaire du Gouvernement accuse réception de la réclamation en indiquant que son auteur sera informé des suites qui lui seront données.


Lorsqu’il estime qu’une réclamation est irrecevable ou manifestement mal fondée, le commissaire du Gouvernement en informe sans délai son auteur en lui indiquant qu’il n’entend pas y donner suite.


Dans le cas contraire, il procède à l’instruction de la réclamation. Il peut se faire communiquer par l’auteur de la réclamation ou le professionnel concerné tous renseignements ou documents nécessaires à l’instruction de la réclamation et procéder à toutes auditions utiles.
