Article R624-5 of the French Commercial code

Where the official receiver declares himself incompetent or establishes the existence of a serious dispute, he shall, by specially reasoned order, refer the parties to a better court and invite, as the case may be, the creditor, the debtor or the judicial representative to refer the matter to the competent court within a period of one month from notification or receipt of the notice issued for this purpose, on pain of foreclosure unless an appeal is lodged in cases where this remedy is available.

Interested third parties may lodge a third-party objection against the decision given by the competent court only within a period of one month from the date of its entry on the statement of claims.

Article R624-5

Lorsque le juge-commissaire se déclare incompétent ou constate l’existence d’une contestation sérieuse, il renvoie, par ordonnance spécialement motivée, les parties à mieux se pourvoir et invite, selon le cas, le créancier, le débiteur ou le mandataire judiciaire à saisir la juridiction compétente dans un délai d’un mois à compter de la notification ou de la réception de l’avis délivré à cette fin, à peine de forclusion à moins d’appel dans les cas où cette voie de recours est ouverte.

Les tiers intéressés ne peuvent former tierce opposition contre la décision rendue par la juridiction compétente que dans le délai d’un mois à compter de sa transcription sur l’état des créances.
