502. The leader of a party whose financial report or return of election expenses is not filed within the prescribed time loses the right to attend the sittings of the council of the municipality as a member thereof from the tenth day after the expiry of the prescribed time until the report or return is filed, subject to section 505.
Where the leader is not a member of the council, the person who was the candidate of the party for the office of mayor at the last election loses the right to attend sittings pursuant to the first paragraph; where that person, also, is not a member of the council, the person who loses the right to attend sittings is the member of the council who, at the last election, was the candidate of the party that obtained the greatest number of votes.
Where the party no longer exists, the leader referred to in the first paragraph is the last holder of that position.
The first three paragraphs do not apply to a person who resigned from the party if a copy of the person’s letter of resignation was transmitted to the treasurer and the chief electoral officer not less than three months before the expiry of the time fixed for transmission of the report.
