1 Where the goods on commission remain unsold or the order to sell is withdrawn and the principal fails to take them back or otherwise dispose of them within a reasonable time, the commission agent may apply to the competent authority at the place where the goods are located to arrange to have them sold at auction.
2 The auction may be ordered without first hearing the principal if neither he nor a representative is present at that location.
3 However, official notice must be served on the principal before the auction is held, unless the goods in question are susceptible to rapid deterioration.
Le commissionnaire a un droit de rétention sur les choses formant l’objet du contrat, ou sur le prix qui a été réalisé.
