543. When a judgment has become executory, the creditor may summon the debtor to appear before the judge or the clerk, either of the district where the judgment was rendered or of the district where the debtor has his residence, to be examined as to all the property that he possesses or has possessed since the incurring of the obligation which was the basis of the judgment, and as to his sources of revenue.
When the debtor is a legal person, the summons must be given to one of its senior officers; when the debtor is a foreign partnership or legal person doing business in Québec, it must be given to its agent.
