Full text
447. Before filing the return and statement prescribed by section 433 or 436, an official agent must have discharged all the claims received within the period fixed by section 429 unless he contests them and indicates them as contested.
In no case may the official agent, the party leader or the candidate pay a claim so contested. Only the official representative may pay the claim in execution of a judgment of a competent court in favour of the creditor after the hearing of the case and not upon an acquiescence in the demand or an agreement of settlement.
The chief electoral officer, if no party or candidate objects, may authorize the official representative of a party or of an independent candidate to pay a contested claim if the refusal or failure to pay results from a bona fide error.
