1055.2. Despite any inconsistent provision of any law, a corporation may assign or hypothecate the right to claim an amount payable to it under this Act.
The assignment or hypothec is not binding on the State and, as a result, the following rules apply:(a) the Minister retains discretion to pay or not to pay the amount to the assignee or creditor;
(b) the assignment or hypothec does not create any liability of the State to the assignee or creditor; and
(c) the rights of the assignee or creditor are subject to the rights conferred on the State by section 31 of the Act respecting the Ministère du Revenu (chapter M-31) and any right to compensation of which the State may avail itself.
