CHAPTER

NAME
17
.
A registrant may not declare or use in Québec a name
(
1
)
that is not in conformity with the Charter of the French language (
chapter C-11
);
(
2
)
that includes an expression which the law reserves for another person or prohibits the registrant from using;
(
3
)
that includes an expression that evokes an immoral, obscene or scandalous notion;
(
4
)
that incorrectly states the registrant’s juridical form or fails to state its juridical form when required by law, in view of the standards for the composition of names determined by regulation of the Government;
(
5
)
that falsely suggests that the registrant is a non-profit group;
(
6
)
that falsely suggests that the registrant is, or is related to, a public authority mentioned in the regulation of the Government;
(
7
)
that falsely suggests that the registrant is related to another person, partnership or group of persons, in the cases and in view of the criteria determined by regulation of the Government;
(
8
)
that is confusingly similar to a name used in Québec by another person, partnership or group of persons, in view of the criteria determined by regulation of the Government; or
(
9
)
that is misleading in any other manner.
A registrant whose name is in a language other than French must declare the French version of that name used by the registrant in Québec in carrying on an activity, which includes the operation of an enterprise, or for the purpose of the possession of an immovable real right, other than a prior claim or hypothec.
The second paragraph does not apply to a natural person registered under a name comprising only his or her surname and given name.
2010, c. 7, s. 17
;
2010, c. 40, s. 29
.
18

For the purposes of this Act,
“
registrant
”
means any person or group of persons registered voluntarily or any person or partnership required to be registered.
2010, c. 7, s. 18
.
19
.
No right to a name is conferred on a registrant solely by the recording of the name in the register or the deposit of a document containing the name in the register.
2010, c. 7, s. 19
.
20
.
The registrar may request that a registrant replace or change a name declared by the registrant if it is contrary to any of subparagraphs 1 to 6 of the first paragraph of section 17 or the second paragraph of that section.
If the registrant fails to comply with the request within 60 days, the registrar may, as applicable,
(
1
)
cancel the registrant’s registration, if the name concerned is the registrant’s name; or
(
2
)
delete the name from the register, if the name concerned is another name declared by the registrant under subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph of section 33.
The registrar records in the register that the name has been refused and informs the registrant.
All information relating to a refused name appearing in a declaration is deemed unwritten.

.

“
the enterprise registrar
”
, if the subject matter of the remedy concerns the exercise of the functions or responsibilities of the registrar.

An agreement entered into under the Act respecting the legal publicity of sole proprietorships, partnerships and legal persons (

.
284

The fees or duties payable to the enterprise registrar from 1 January 2006 to 15 March 2010 are set out in Schedule IV.
The sums paid to the registrar during that period as fees, tariffs, duties or charges for any purpose listed in Schedule IV are deemed to be fees validly collected under the first paragraph. All such sums belong to the Government.

The registrar may dissolve a legal person established for a private interest constituted in Québec before 1 July 1994 that has failed to file a registration declaration, by publishing a notice to that effect in the

Gazette officielle du Québec
at least 60 days beforehand.
2010, c. 7, s. 289
.
290
.
A legal person dissolved in a situation described in section 289 or in section 50, 527 or 528 of the Act respecting the legal publicity of sole proprietorships, partnerships and legal persons (
chapter P-45
) is deemed to continue in existence in order to terminate any judicial or administrative proceeding.
2010, c. 7, s. 290
.
291
.
Despite any legal provisions relating to the revival of a dissolved company, the registrar may, on request, subject to the conditions determined by the registrar and on payment of the fee set out in this Act, cause a legal person dissolved before 1 January 1994 under the Companies Information Act (
chapter R-22
) to resume existence, by depositing an order to that effect in the register.
The same applies to legal persons dissolved in a situation described in section 289 or in section 527 or 528 of the Act respecting the legal publicity of sole proprietorships, partnerships and legal persons (
chapter P-45
).
The deposit of the order in the register effects the registration of the legal person, who resumes existence as of the date of the deposit.
Subject to the rights acquired by any person, the legal person is deemed never to have been dissolved.
2010, c. 7, s. 291
.
292

A proceeding brought before the Court of Québec under section 90 of the Act respecting the legal publicity of sole proprietorships, partnerships and legal persons (
chapter P-45
) before 14 February 2011 the hearing of which has not commenced is continued, without further formality, before the economic affairs division of the Administrative Tribunal of Québec.
If the hearing has already commenced, the remedy is continued before the Court of Québec, unless the parties consent to a new hearing before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec or agree to the hearing being continued before the Tribunal, relying, in the case of oral evidence already produced, on the notes and minutes of the hearing or, as applicable, on the stenographer’s notes or the recording of the hearing.
The clerk of the Court of Québec must send the records relating to proceedings described in the first paragraph to the secretary of the Tribunal not later than 15 April 2011.

Subparagraph 4 of the first paragraph of section 17 does not apply to the name used in Québec by a natural person described in paragraph 1 of section 21 who was operating an enterprise on 31 December 1993, or by a partnership described in paragraph 2 of that section that existed on 31 December 1993, if on that date, in accordance with article 1834
b
of the Civil Code of Lower Canada or section 10 of the Companies and Partnerships Declaration Act (
chapter D-1
), the name included the term “enregistré” or “et compagnie”, an abbreviation of either of those expressions or any other word or phrase indicating a plurality of members or that one or more persons were using the name of another person.

.
294

The registrar preserves and keeps available for public consultation the public registers and archives kept by the registrar before 1 January 1994 under any of the Acts listed in Schedule V or any private Act.
On payment of the fee set out in this Act, the registrar may issue copies or extracts of the preserved documents and certificates and the related attestations to any person who applies for them.
If access to a file or the issue of a copy or extract of a document is requested in respect of a registrant who has invoked an exemption established by regulation under the third paragraph of section 97 of the Act respecting the legal publicity of sole proprietorships, partnerships and legal persons (
chapter P-45
) or under paragraph 2 of section 149 of this Act, the enterprise registrar deletes from the file, extract or copy the information to which the exemption applies.
The same applies to any personal information to which the registrar prevents access in accordance with section 100.
A certified copy or extract of a preserved document is authentic and constitutes proof of its registration, if applicable.
Third parties in good faith are not presumed to have knowledge of the content of a document solely because the document is registered under Part 1A of the Companies Act (
chapter C-38
). They may presume that such documents contain accurate information.
