Valuation by the judicial or administrative authority
Article 14
1. The judicial or administrative authority shall take a decision on the valuation of the debtor's business only where a restructuring plan is challenged by a dissenting affected party on the grounds of either: (a) an alleged failure to satisfy the best-interest-of-creditors test under point (6) of Article 2(1); or (b) an alleged breach of the conditions for a cross-class cram-down under point (ii) of Article 11(1)(b). 2. Member States shall ensure that, for the purpose of taking a decision on a valuation in accordance with paragraph 1, judicial or administrative authorities may appoint or hear properly qualified experts. 3. For the purposes of paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that a dissenting affected party may lodge a challenge with the judicial or administrative authority called upon to confirm the restructuring plan. Member States may provide that such a challenge can be lodged in the context of an appeal against a decision on the confirmation of a restructuring plan.
