The commercial court clerk who wishes to exercise his right of presentation shall inform the Minister for Justice, the Keeper of the Seals, by teleprocedure on the website of the Ministry of Justice, of this plan and of the amount of compensation requested in this respect, which corresponds to the value of the office.
Unless the compensation requested appears to be manifestly excessive, an order of the Minister of Justice will publicise this announcement and specify the deadline for submitting applications. The deadline for candidates to submit their applications may not be less than thirty days from publication of the order in the Journal officiel de la République française. Applications shall be sent, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any other means that ensures receipt, to the Registrar of the Commercial Court.
The clerk selects his successor from among the candidates, within six months of the deadline for applications. If this deadline is not met, the office is declared vacant pursuant to R. 742-24, unless the court clerk has expressly notified the Minister for Justice, by teleprocedure on the website of the Ministry of Justice, within the same period, of his intention to withdraw.
