A converted company shall not acquire a new corporate entity, but shall maintain its rights and obligations established before conversion. Conversion shall discharge the joint partners from the company's obligations before conversion unless the creditors object to the conversion within sixty days from the date of notifying each of them, by a registered letter with a delivery note, of this decision. The objection shall be submitted by using the normal procedures of filing legal actions, and shall be heard by the High Civil Court. The joint partners shall continue to be liable towards the objecting creditors until the objection is finally decided on.
