The decision of the liquidator who, having been given formal notice to decide on the continuation of an ongoing contract pursuant to Article L. 641-11-1, III, 1° of the Commercial Code, expressly opts for the non-continuation of the contract, results in the automatic termination of that contract on the date of receipt of this decision by the counterparty, provided that this occurs within the one-month period provided for by that provision. This termination is enforceable against the party against whom the lapse of a contract is invoked, as a consequence of the prior nullification of an interdependent contract, without it being necessary for the liquidator's termination decision to be notified to that party.
