122. Without prejudice to the suspensions prescribed under section 118, any court, judge or magistrate who maintains, in whole or in part, a suit for damages resulting from the fault, carelessness or neglect of the operator or owner of a motor vehicle, even if a request to that effect is not included in the conclusions of the suit, may order the suspension of the permit of the person in charge of said vehicle or of the registration certificate of the latter, or of both at the same time, until the judgment has been satisfied as to capital, interest and costs.

The court, judge or magistrate may also make an order imposing, as a condition for the recovery of the permit or of the registration certificate, or for obtaining a new permit or new registration certificate, that the owner of the motor vehicle shall furnish to the Régie for such time as may be determined by judgment, by means of an insurance policy, a guarantee, a deposit or otherwise, a guarantee of surety of sufficient financial responsibility to afford reasonable protection to the public against any accident which may in future be caused by a motor vehicle of the owner.

When pronouncing the suspension of a permit or registration certificate, or of both at the same time, the court, judge or magistrate shall order the holder of such permit or the holder of such certificate, or both, as the case may be, to surrender such permit or certificate, within a stated delay, at the office of the court, there to be kept as long as the suspension shall last. Refusal or neglect to obey such order shall constitute contempt of court.

This section shall not apply to judgments rendered in consequence of an automobile accident occurring after the 30th of September 1961.
