Article R322-15 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

At the orientation hearing, the enforcement judge, after hearing the parties present or represented, verifies that the conditions of articles L. 311-2, L. 311-4 and L. 311-6 have been met, rules on any disputes and incidental claims and determines how the proceedings are to be pursued, by authorising an out-of-court sale at the request of the debtor or ordering a forced sale.
When authorising an out-of-court sale, the judge ensures that it can be concluded under satisfactory conditions, taking into account the situation of the property, the economic conditions of the market and any diligence on the part of the debtor.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R322-15


A l’audience d’orientation, le juge de l’exécution, après avoir entendu les parties présentes ou représentées, vérifie que les conditions des articles L. 311-2, L. 311-4 et L. 311-6 sont réunies, statue sur les éventuelles contestations et demandes incidentes et détermine les modalités de poursuite de la procédure, en autorisant la vente amiable à la demande du débiteur ou en ordonnant la vente forcée.
Lorsqu’il autorise la vente amiable, le juge s’assure qu’elle peut être conclue dans des conditions satisfaisantes compte tenu de la situation du bien, des conditions économiques du marché et des diligences éventuelles du débiteur.
