A French court today (30 September) ordered the liquidation of embattled French poultry exporter, Tilly-Sabco, with the proviso that it be allowed to continue trading in the hope of finding a buyer.

The commercial court of Brest authorised Tilly-Sabco “to pursue its activities for a period of two months until 30 November,” taking into account the provision made “to finance the business and pay wages until 30 October.”
