Section 116 Disposition versions

1982-12-01

116. Before filing the return and statement prescribed by section 112 or 113, an official agent must have paid all the claims received within the delay prescribed by section 108 unless he contests the same and mentions them therein as contested.

It is forbidden for the official agent and the party leader or candidate to pay a claim so contested, except in execution of a judgment of a competent court in favour of the creditor after the hearing of the case and not upon an acquiescence in the demand or an agreement of settlement.

A judge, or the director general, if no party, association or candidate objects, may authorize an official agent, a party leader or a candidate to pay a contested claim or a prescribed claim, if the refusal or failure to pay results from a bonafide error and if that payment does not increase the election expenses to an amount exceeding the limit fixed by section 109.

1977, c. 11, s. 116; 1982, c. 31, s. 52; 1982, c. 17, s. 46.

A judge may nevertheless authorize the payment of a contested claim or of a claim not produced within the prescribed time, if it is established before him that the contestation or delay in filing results from a bonafide error or oversight and that the payment will not increase the expenses to an amount exceeding the limit fixed by section 109.
