By: Fabien Cordiez French lawyer and Solicitor Proofs of Debt must be very carefully drafted. Some essential points to consider are as follows: • Drafting the proof of debt in French; • Mentioning whether the debt is a preferential one or not; • The legal interest on unpaid sums should be included. Interest stops accruing at the date of the commencement Receivership Order; • All sums must be converted in Euro with the exchange rate applicable at the date of the Order; • The 'Declaration de Créance' is to be signed by a legal representative of the foreign creditor, or anyone holding a special power of attorney, or the creditor's solicitor; • Above his/her signature, the creditor or its legal representative must handwrite a special Statement of Truth; • All supporting documentation evidencing the claim should be listed on a document called 'Bordereau de documents justificatifs'; The time-limit for filing claims is two months from the date the Receivership Order is published. Such publishing normally takes place around three weeks following the date of the Order. The time limit is extended to 4 months for overseas-based creditors.
