29. No retailer nor any person contemplated in section 20.29 shall institute or continue any proceedings in Québec for the recovery of a debt arising from the sale or delivery of property to a person who resides or carries on business therein, or from an insurance policy, unless he holds a registration certificate issued under this Act.
Such incapacity shall be noticed exofficio by the court and its officers.
Nevertheless, any proceedings instituted shall be valid notwithstanding such incapacity upon the subsequent obtaining of the registration certificate.
