Article R814-52 of the French Commercial code

Within one month of their registration, judicial administrators and judicial representatives take an oath before the court of appeal in whose jurisdiction their professional domicile is located, in the following terms: “I swear to perform my duties with honour, dignity, independence and probity, and to comply on all occasions with the laws and regulations of my profession”.

They may only perform their duties from the day they take the oath.

Any court-appointed administrator or judicial representative who does not take the oath within one month of his or her registration shall be declared to have resigned from office and removed from the lists by the National Registration and Disciplinary Commission, unless he or she can show good cause.

Article R814-52

Dans le mois de leur inscription, les administrateurs judiciaires et les mandataires judiciaires prêtent serment devant la cour d’appel dans le ressort de laquelle est situé leur domicile professionnel, en ces termes : ” Je jure d’exercer mes fonctions avec honneur, dignité, indépendance et probité, et de me conformer en toute occasion aux lois et règlements de ma profession “.

Ils ne peuvent exercer leurs fonctions qu’à compter du jour de leur prestation de serment.

Tout administrateur judiciaire ou mandataire judiciaire qui ne prête pas serment dans le mois de son inscription est déclaré démissionnaire de ses fonctions et retiré des listes par la Commission nationale d’inscription et de discipline, sauf s’il peut justifier d’un motif valable.
