Responding to DPPJ Information Requests

A properly managed corporate record helps prevent documentary problems from obstructing necessary company decisions. A provincial DPPJ notice must be examined in light of the agency's authority, the grounds stated and the company's existing registry record.

What to keep in mind

Responses should address each observation with corresponding acts, evidence and explanations. Historical omissions should be managed through a consistent corrective strategy.

Ignoring deadlines or using forms designed for another registry can create avoidable complications.

Distinctions often confused

An administrative registry observation differs from a judicial dispute between shareholders.
