Article R641-37 of the French Commercial code

The liquidator may operate the debtor’s bank accounts under his signature for a period of six months from the judgment pronouncing the liquidation or, beyond that, for the duration of the continuation of the business authorised by the court pursuant to article L. 641-10. Subsequent use of these accounts is subject to the authorisation of the juge-commissaire issued after consulting the public prosecutor.

In the event of continued operation, this provision benefits the administrator, where one has been appointed.

Article R641-37

Le liquidateur peut faire fonctionner sous sa signature les comptes bancaires du débiteur pendant un délai de six mois à compter du jugement prononçant la liquidation ou, au-delà, pendant la durée du maintien de l’activité autorisée par le tribunal en application de l’article L. 641-10. L’utilisation ultérieure de ces comptes est subordonnée à l’autorisation du juge-commissaire délivrée après avis du ministère public.

En cas de maintien de l’activité, cette disposition bénéficie à l’administrateur, lorsqu’il en a été désigné.
