In the case of liquidation of assets, the continuation of activity may be authorized by the
competent court only for the purposes of liquidation and only where such continuation does not
endanger public interest or the interest of creditors.
The competent court shall render a decision upon a report of the Bankruptcy Trustee forwarded
to the representative of the Legal Department.
The continuation of business or activity shall cease three months after the authorization, provided
such authorization is renewed by the competent court one or more times.
It shall end one year after liquidation has been ordered, save for serious reasons and as an
exceptional case the competent court in a specially reasoned decision decides otherwise.
The Bankruptcy Trustee shall, every three months, forward the results of company’s business
operation to the President of the competent court and to the representative of the Legal
Department. He shall, in addition, make mention of the amount of money deposited into the
account of the collective proceedings initiated under the conditions laid down in Article 45
above.
