C-25.01 - Code of Civil Procedure

Full text
160. If the court orders the appointment of a lawyer to represent a minor or a person of full age it considers incapable who is not represented by a tutor or a mandatary, it rules, if need be, on the lawyer’s fee, which is borne either by the minor’s father and mother or parents, or by the incapable person.
In the case of such a person of full age, the court, on its own initiative, may order that the application be notified to the person’s spouse, a close relative or a person who shows a special interest in the person or, in their absence, to the Public Curator.
In all cases where the representative of a minor or of an incapable person of full age has an interest adverse to that of the minor or incapable person, the court, even on its own initiative, may appoint a tutor ad hoc to ensure proper representation of the minor or incapable person.
If required by the circumstances, the court may stay the proceeding for the time it specifies.
