P-42.1.1 - Act to protect elected municipal officers and to facilitate the unhindered exercise of their functions
Section 6
Disposition versions
6. Legal action referred to in section 3 may be taken by a local municipality for the benefit of a member of its council or by a regional county municipality for the benefit of its warden elected in accordance with section 210.29.2 of the Act respecting municipal territorial organization (chapter O-9).
Where the member or warden takes such legal action themselves or through an attorney of their choice, the municipality referred to in the first paragraph must pay any reasonable costs incurred for the action or, with the consent of the member or warden, reimburse those costs to them instead of paying the costs. However, if the Superior Court does not grant an injunction and the municipality is of the opinion that the legal action was taken without reasonable cause, the municipality is exempt from that obligation and may, where applicable, claim reimbursement of the expenses it incurred.
