989.2. The Government establishes, by regulation, the tariff of legal costs referred to in articles 989 and 989.1. It may prescribe different costs in the tariff, depending on whether they are payable by a natural person or by a legal person.
No proceeding for which costs are payable may be filed in the clerk’s office unless the costs are paid. However, where a person proves that he is receiving a benefit under a last resort financial assistance program provided for in the Act respecting income support, employment assistance and social solidarity (chapter S-32.001), he is exempted from the payment of such costs.
Each proceeding shall indicate the date on which it is filed and, where applicable, the amount and date of payment of the costs.
