The application must be accompanied by an undertaking to pay the compensation set jointly by the Minister for Justice and the Minister for the Budget. Where the candidate is required to take out a loan, the application must be accompanied by information enabling the candidate’s financial resources to be assessed in the light of the commitments entered into.
The Minister for Justice will arrange for an investigation to be carried out into the good character and professional abilities of the candidates. The office of the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce shall provide it, within twenty days of its request, with any information it has on these two elements.
