E-2.1 - Act respecting elections in certain municipalities

Section 106 Disposition versions

1982-06-30

106. If a return or an sworn statement contains any error, the candidate or party leader may obtain permission from a judge to correct such error on establishing that it was made through inadvertence. However, the treasurer may, exofficio, allow the error to be corrected if the correction is not contested by a party or a candidate, as the case may be.

If an independent candidate or party leader establishes before a judge that the absence, death, illness or misconduct of an official agent or any other reasonable cause prevents the preparation and production of a return prescribed in section 104, such judge may make any order he deems necessary to enable the applicant to obtain all the information and documents necessary to prepare the return and affidavit and grant such further delay as the circumstances may require.

Failure to comply with an order made under this section is punishable in the same manner as failure to appear to testify before the court.

1978, c. 63, s. 106; 1982, c. 31, s. 95.
