214. (Repealed).
R. S. 1964, c. 235, s. 225; 1972, c. 42, s. 64; 1979, c. 80, s. 25.
214. With the exception of those situated wholly or in part in the city of Québec or Montréal, no school corporation may give out work for construction or improvement or pass a contract to that effect, unless the resolution authorizing the contract or ordering the work has provided for the appropriation of the moneys required for paying the cost of the same.
If the corporation have not in its general funds, not otherwise appropriated, the amounts required for this purpose, the resolution must provide for the imposing of a special tax upon the whole municipality or upon the property-owners liable for the cost of such works, as the case may be, or for a loan, and in such case the resolution must comply with all the conditions and formalities required by law regarding school loans.
Nevertheless when the corporation is bound by law to obey an order rendered under the authority of the Public Health Protection Act (chapter P-35) or of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2), requiring certain work to be done within a specified delay, it may carry out such order and borrow the necessary moneys without observing the prescriptions of this section; and as a rule this section shall not apply in special cases otherwise provided for by law.
Contracts entered into contrary to the foregoing provisions shall be void and shall not bind the corporation, and any ratepayer may obtain a writ of injunction against the corporation and the contractor to prevent the execution of the work.
Any infringement of the provisions of this section shall render each member of the school board, at fault, personally responsible for the payment of the total cost of the work, and, in addition, liable to a fine of not more than five hundred dollars.
In case of urgency, however, the Minister, may allow a school corporation to derogate from the provisions of this section.
R. S. 1964, c. 235, s. 225; 1972, c. 42, s. 64.
