Disposition versions

Full text
151. Any elector wishing that a repeated or continuous breach of a by-law be brought to an end may file a notice of correction with the Regional Government.
Such notice shall be filed at the office of the Regional Government, whose functionaries must help the elector to draw up the notice, if the elector requires it. Furthermore, the notice may be sent by mail and the date of the post-mark is then considered as that of the filing.
After receiving a notice, the Regional Government shall meet the elector, the representatives of the municipality and, if necessary, the person who is alleged not to conform to the by-law.
Depending on the conclusions reached further to its inquiry, the Regional Government shall suggest either that the elector withdraw his notice of correction, or that the municipality take certain measures, or that the person contemplated cease the exercise of an activity or change his behaviour.
Such suggestion shall be made in writing, not later than 60 days after the filing of the notice. A copy of the document proposing the suggestion shall be sent to the elector, to the municipality, as well as, if necessary, to the person who is alleged not to conform to the by-law.
If, 90 days after the filing of the notice, the intervention by the Regional Government is, according to the elector’s opinion, unsuccessful, the latter may serve an application directly on a judge of the Court of Québec to obtain:
(a)  the order contemplated in subsection 3 of section 145; or
(b)  an order enjoining the municipality to take the necessary measures for the breach to cease.
The application must be served on the municipality, on the Regional Government and, as the case may be, on the person accused of the breach, not later than 120 days after filing the notice of continuous contravention, under pain of nullity.
