Question: 

We have problems with one co-owner who does not pay her fees on time, if at all. What are our recourses in recuperating the fees?

Réponse: 

Simple way is to go to small claims court. Do not forget to add administrative fees (if you do not have, the Board can adopt and implement that kind of fees - like 5$ or 10$ for late payment; 5 or 10$ for a letter of demand; etc. Do not forget to give notice to all about this by-laws) Small claims court will give a judgment and add interests to the claim (if you have an interest clause in your declaration, add them to the claim. If not, the legal interest is 5% and the court will give it to the syndicate)

The Private Security Act was announced publicly on June 14, 2006. When it will come into force remains a mystery.

The said Act (Bill 88) is a result of a long process of examination by different committees set up by the Ministry of Public Security in order to adapt the Act respecting detective or security agencies according to the current profile of the security industry. It is no surprise that the increase of fear in North American society has demonstrated itself as an increase in private security activities.

The Private Security Act's goal is to regulate the ever-increasing number of private security services provided by different companies in Quebec. It requires enterprises and persons offering private security services to hold agency and agent permits. The scope of this Act includes security services, investigation, locksmith work, electronic security systems, security transport of valuables and security consulting.
