BROSSARD, QC, Nov. 29, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Organisme d'autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) is filing penal proceedings against Stellium Immobilier Inc. before the Court of Québec.
The Organization lays 19 charges against this unlicensed company for having illegally carried out the activity of real estate agency (or formerly real estate broker) between March 2010 and September 2012, and thus violating the Real Estate Brokerage Act. The OACIQ is claiming fines totalling $513,000, an amount that takes into account the benefits presumably derived from the infringement.
