Section 6 Disposition versions

1978-12-22

6. No deed, document or writing is binding on the department or may be attributed to the Minister unless it is signed by him, by the Deputy Minister or by an officer and only, in the case of an officer, to the extent determined by regulation of the Government published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.

The Government may, however, on conditions fixed by it, allow the required signature to be affixed by means of an automatic device to those documents it determines.

The Government may also allow a facsimile of the required signature to be engraved, lithographed or printed on those documents it determines. In that case, the facsimile has the same value as the signature itself if the document is countersigned by a person authorized by the Minister.

A copy of any document forming part of the records of the department certified by the Minister or the Deputy Minister as a true copy, shall be considered authentic, and shall have prima facie the same legal effect as the original in any court of justice.
