Summary
This section sets out the requirements for a corporation after any change in its directors or officers.
Text of Legislation
8. (1) A corporation that is licensed as a farm labour contractor must apply for a new licence within 7 days after any change in its directors or officers.
(2) If the corporation does not apply within the time specified in subsection (1),
(a) its licence is void, and
(b) the corporation must surrender the licence to the director.
Policy Interpretation
Subsection (1)
Where there is a change of a director or an officer, the licensed farm labour contractor must apply for a new licence within 7 days.
Subsection (2)
If the farm labour contractor complies with the 7-day period, the old licence will continue in effect during the interim period, however, when the farm labour contractor has not complied with this section, the licence is considered void and must be surrendered to the Director of Employment Standards.
If the director issues a determination refusing to issue a new licence under s.10 of this Regulation the old licence is void on the date of the refusal and the existing licence must be immediately surrendered to the director.
Example
Glickman Ltd. holds a valid farm labour contractor’s licence showing Director Marsden as the sole director/officer of the corporation. On July 1, 2002, Director Marsden was replaced by Director Flemming as sole director/officer of Glickman Ltd. Glickman Ltd. must apply for a new licence by July 8, 2002 or the existing licence will be void and without effect.
In a determination issued on July 15, 2002, the director refuses to issue a new licence to Glickman Ltd because Director Flemming has had a previous farm labour contractor’s licence cancelled for non-compliance with the Act. Glickman Ltd’s licence would be void as of July 15, 2002, the date of the refusal.
