1. Whenever any person is obliged by law, or by a judgment or order, to make a deposit to pay costs or to furnish security before the courts, he may, in place of making such deposit or furnishing the surety or sureties required, furnish security by an incorporated surety or guarantee company which has an office in Québec, and which is specially authorized by the Government to become a judicial surety.
