France: companies in insolvency that own property

Liquidation

Liquidation judiciaire. The liquidator sells the company's property, with the authorisation of the supervising judge. Approach the liquidator.

Receivership

Redressement judiciaire. The company trades on under the court, often with an administrator. Property can be sold with the court's approval, or the business sold under a sale plan.

Safeguard

Sauvegarde. The directors stay in charge under court protection while a plan is prepared. A sale needs the court's approval.

Sale plan

Plan de cession. The court approved a sale of the business. Property left out of the sale is sold by the liquidator.

In a procedure

A procedure is open, but its opening judgment is older than the notices Praetor has read. The court appointees named in its notices still decide.

Continuation plan

Plan de redressement or de sauvegarde. The court approved a plan and the company continues, repaying its debts over time. The plan's supervisor oversees it.
