Any third party, creditor or not, who, through his wrongdoing, contributes towards the delay of
the suspension of payments or the reduction of the assets of the debtor or to the increase of his
liabilities, may be ordered to make good the loss suffered by the body of creditors upon an action
instituted by the Bankruptcy Trustee acting in the common interest of the creditors.
To make good the loss, the competent court shall choose the most appropriate solution, that is,
either order the wrongdoer to pay compensation for the damage or where he is a creditor who
holds guarantees, make him forfeit his securities.
