Question juridique clé
Whether the collocation action filed on 25 May 2001 was timely and admissible despite the bankruptcy official's announced correction.
Solution extraite
The plaintiff was entitled, and in the circumstances even obliged, to file the collocation action before the deadline expired; the plan had to be corrected and the action was not barred by good faith.
Motifs extraits
The 20-day period allows filing at any time within it. Once a collocation action is filed, the official may no longer amend the plan, but the plaintiff did not act abusively: he inquired on the last working day, was told no change had yet been made, and could not be blamed for the office's internal arrangements. The prior assurance had been made to another person, not to him.
