604.9. Where the municipality’s right to obtain the reimbursement requested under the first paragraph of section 604.7 is contested, section 604.6, adapted as required, applies in respect of any judicial recourse exercised by the municipality in order to obtain such reimbursement.
The court before which the recourse is exercised shall rule also on the applicability of section 604.7 in respect of all or part of the expenses to be incurred by the municipality for the purposes of the first paragraph of this section, as if the grounds for the recourse were the same as those for the original proceedings referred to in section 604.6.
The court before which the original proceedings referred to in section 604.6 are brought, in the case of a court of justice and civil proceedings, may, at the request of the municipality, rule on the applicability of section 604.7 in respect of such proceedings. Where the municipality is not already a party to or impleaded in the proceedings, it may intervene in order to make and support the request.
