395. Before filing the return and affidavit prescribed by section 391 or 392, an official agent must have paid all the claims received within the delay prescribed by section 387 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 a confession of judgment or an agreement of settlement.

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 of delay in filing results from a bona fide error or oversight and that the payment will not increase the expenses to an amount exceeding the limit fixed by section 388.
