SECTION 85

Where the debt or the collateral security or the claim is challenged or disputed in whole or in part, the Bankruptcy Trustee shall notify the Judge Administrator and the creditor or the claimant concerned by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt or by any other means with written proof thereof; such notice shall specify the object and reason for the challenge or dispute, and the amount of the debt the debtor admits and shall contain a full reproduction of this article. The creditor or the claimant shall be given a time limit not exceeding fifteen days with effect from the date the notice was received within which to submit his written or verbal explanations to the Judge Administrator. After this time-limit, he may no longer be allowed to challenge the receiver’s proposal. The said time-limit shall be thirty days for creditors resident outside the national territory of the place where the collective proceedings have been opened. However, tax, customs duties and social security claims may be challenged only under the conditions laid down in the instruments applicable to the respective claims.
