SECTION 59

The decision to open proceedings may order that the cash-boxes, safes, portfolios, books, documents, furniture, effects, stores and warehouses of the debtor be sealed and, where it concerns a company with members whose liability for its debts is indefinite, it may order that the said members’ personal property be sealed. The decision may also include an order that the property of the manager of the company be sealed. The court registrar shall forthwith give notice of the decision to the Judge Administrator who shall seal the said property. Even before the said decision, the President of the competent court may exceptionally on his own decide to, or at the request of one or more creditors, appoint from among the members of the court a judge to seal the said property in the case where the debtor has disappeared or where he has misappropriated any part or all of his assets. The Judge Administrator or the judge appointed in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall forthwith give notice of the affixing of the seals to the President of the court who made the order.
