The request made pursuant to Article L. 624-19 is sent to the administrator, if one has been appointed, within the period provided for in Article L. 624-9 by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The entrepreneur sends a copy to the mandataire judiciaire. In the absence of acquiescence by the administrator forwarded within a period of one month from receipt of the application, the applicant must, on pain of foreclosure, refer the matter to the juge-commissaire within the period provided for in the second paragraph of Article R. 624-13.
In the absence of an administrator, the entrepreneur refers the matter to the juge-commissaire by petition within the time limit set out in Article L. 624-9.
Before ruling, the juge-commissaire takes observations from the petitioner, the court-appointed administrator, if any, and the mandataire judiciaire.
