Complete template that you fill in for your own file. The fixed text only carries the mentions the cited provisions require; the facts, choices and requests are yours. The tool does not file, serve, swear or send anything, does not choose a remedy or a deadline for you, and guarantees no outcome (Act respecting the Barreau du Québec, s. 128: “to prepare and draw up a notice, motion, proceeding or other similar document intended for use in a case before the courts”, “performed for others”, is the exclusive prerogative of the practising advocate or solicitor).
