(1) Any mandate ordered by the debtor referring to the property forming part of the insolvency estate expires upon the insolvency proceedings being opened.
(2) If there is a danger in such suspension of a mandate, the mandatory continues to perform the mandated transaction until the insolvency administrator is able to otherwise take care of such transaction himself or herself. The mandate is thus deemed to continue. Mandatories may claim reimbursement of their expenses incurred for such continuation as a preferential creditor.
(3) As long as a mandatory is not at fault in being unaware of the opening of insolvency proceedings he or she benefits from the presumption that the mandate continues. Mandatories rank among the insolvency creditors as regards their reimbursement claims arising from such continuation.
