This Wednesday, at the end of the afternoon, the Commercial Court of Lille pronounced the judicial liquidation of Camaïeu with a continuation of activity until Friday.
A decision that falls like a chopper for the 2,700 employees while, a few hours before the hearing, there were some glimmers of hope.
"The court agrees with the administrators' request and transforms the receivership into liquidation", announced the president of the court after a river hearing of more than three hours.
At these words, the employees present in the room castigated Michel Ohayon, the businessman who owns the Bordeaux real estate finance company (FIB) of which the shareholder of Camaïeu, HPB, is a subsidiary.
“You are a man of money, a politician”, “Our shareholder was you and you did nothing”, we could hear.
“You are sour today and I forgive you.
I am as appalled as you, ”tried to answer the businessman.
The unions will sue the "responsible"
“The next step is the redundancy plan for the 2,700 employees which will be implemented by the administrator.
He has three weeks to throw everyone out, ”explains Fyodor Rilov, the CGT lawyer.
It remains to be seen with how much compensation the employees will leave.
“From our side, we are going to attack the management of the company in court.
Even the prosecution has recognized that the leaders were responsible for this rout, ”adds the lawyer.
