Article R532-8 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

If the property is sold before the final publicity has been completed, the creditor holding the legal security has the same rights as the holder of a conventional or legal security. However, the creditor’s share of the price is deposited with the Caisse des dépôts et consignations.
This share is returned to him if he can prove that the final publicity has been carried out within the stipulated period. Failing this, it is remitted to the creditors in order to receive it or to the debtor.

Article R532-8


Si le bien est vendu avant que la publicité définitive ait été accomplie, le créancier titulaire de la sûreté judiciaire jouit des mêmes droits que le titulaire d’une sûreté conventionnelle ou légale. Toutefois, la part qui lui revient dans la distribution du prix est consignée auprès de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations.
Cette part lui est remise s’il justifie de l’accomplissement de la publicité définitive dans le délai prévu. A défaut, elle est remise aux créanciers en ordre de la recevoir ou au débiteur.
