English term or phrase: put on enquiry
Where the result of a director’s breach of duty is a transaction with a third party, then the ability of the third party to uphold the transaction is likely to depend on whether he can bring himself within the protection of the 2006 Act, s. 40 (power of the directors to bind the company) or s. 44 (execution of documents by a company”, and whether he can avoid a finding of lack of good faith, or failure to make enquiries having been put on enquiry.

"mise en demeure" / "mise en examen"


Explanation:
Dans ce cas, ce qui rendrait le maintien de la transaction impossible serait que la tierce partie ait omis d'effectuer des investigations plus approfondies, après avoir officiellement été l'objet d'une enquête, ou d'une sommation quelconque. Pour cette raison, l'expression consacrée me parait être : "mise en demeure".

Toutefois, la deuxième possibilité me semble être : " après avoir fait l'objet d'une enquête", ou "après avoir été mis en examen" .

"Moving forward to Lord Browne-Wilkinson in Barclays Bank plc v O Brien (1994) according to him According to Lord Browne-Wilkinson, the bank is put on inquiry where the transaction is financially disadvantageous to the surety (...).

Reference: "Put on inquiry notice"

Reference information:
The original text sounds like a British version of what's called inquiry notice in the US:

"That legal notice presumed to exist when a person is in command of sufficient facts as would cause a reasonable person to make further inquiries.

Example: If one buys real property and knows that it is occupied by someone other than the seller, then the buyer has an obligation to make inquiries to find out the character of the rights of the occupant, whether the occupant has a long-term lease, no lease at all, or is claiming title to the property as his or her own. But, having failed to make any inquiry, the purchaser cannot make a claim against the seller if the occupant claims rights in the property.
