Court Decisions
P-9.2.1 - Act to assist persons who are victims of criminal offences and to facilitate their recovery
Section 93
Disposition versions
93. Persons who are victims who have received financial assistance to which they are not entitled or the amount of which exceeds the amount to which they are entitled must repay to the Minister the amounts received without entitlement. However, financial assistance already paid does not need to be repaid, unless it was obtained in bad faith,
(1) where the Minister reconsiders the decision because it was rendered before an essential fact became known, because it is based on an error pertaining to an essential fact or because a substantive or procedural defect is likely to invalidate it; or
(2) where, following a review or a contestation, the Minister or the Administrative Tribunal of Québec renders a decision that has the effect of cancelling financial assistance or reducing its amount.
The Minister may recover the debt within three years after payment of the financial assistance or, in a case of bad faith, within three years of becoming aware of the bad faith.
