77. On the expiry of the time limit set in section 71, if no application for designation has been sent, if no body for which an application has been sent meets the requirements of sections 73 and 74, or if the requirements of sections 71 and 72 have not been met for a body, the Société designates, within 30 days following the expiry of the time limit, a body which, in its opinion, is able to assume the obligations referred to in subdivision 1 of Division II of this Chapter, even if the body, which must still be constituted as a non-profit legal person and have its head office in Québec, meets only some or none of the other requirements.
The Société must, before designating a body pursuant to the first paragraph, obtain its agreement.
The designation provided for in the first paragraph is effective as of the date on which the notice informing the body of the designation is received by the body.
