The National Council shall draw up a set of professional rules subject to the approval of the Minister for Justice.
The Minister for Justice may ask the National Council to update or revise these rules within a time limit set by the Minister.
These rules provide in particular:
1° The procedures for organising and financing professional training;
2° The harmonisation of the accounting methods used by each professional, the compulsory daily keeping of accounts to ensure the representation of funds, bills, securities and other assets belonging to others, and the approval of computerised systems for keeping accounts ;
3° The conditions for delegating signatures within the firm and for keeping supporting documents, as well as other measures to ensure security in the management of files and the management of third-party funds;
4° The conditions under which the court-appointed administrator or the court-appointed agent discloses to the mandating authority the economic and financial interests that he or she holds, directly or indirectly, and that may prevent the granting of a mandate in a specific case;
5° The procedures for the presentation of applications by judicial administrators and judicial representatives for the purpose of fixing their emoluments, as well as other measures likely to enable compliance with the rules relating to their fees to be monitored;
6° Harmonisation of the presentation of their end-of-assignment reports by judicial administrators and judicial representatives;
7° The conditions under which court-appointed administrators and judicial representatives bring to the attention of the National Council the economic and social information arising from the proceedings under which they are acting;
8° The conditions under which a court-appointed administrator or judicial representative who requests to be removed from the list or who ceases to practise his profession individually organises the transfer of the cases entrusted to him and the funds he holds.
Failure to comply with the professional rules may result in disciplinary proceedings.
If these rules have not been updated or revised by the National Council within the time limit set, they are updated or revised by the Minister of Justice.
