SECTION 79

A known creditor who has not shown proof of his claim within a period of fifteen days following the first publication of the decision to open proceedings in a newspaper empowered to publish legal notices, particularly the creditor whose name appears on the balance sheet and whose security has been published, shall be personally notified in a letter with acknowledgment of receipt or by any means with written proof thereof sent where necessary to his chosen address by the Bankruptcy Trustee. In all cases the same notice shall be addressed to the Controller, where one has been appointed, to represent the personnel. Under pain of nullity, the creditor shall show proof of his claim or his right to the recovery of property within a time limit not exceeding fifteen days following the receipt of the notice or no later than the time limit provided for in Article 78 above. This time limit shall be thirty days for a creditor and any other claimant resident outside the national territory of the place where the proceedings have been opened.
