Bailiffs’ Report

PAQUETTE provides exemplary reporting services. Unfortunately still largely unknown, this service is clearly beneficial as it can have a positive effect and has the potential to quickly put an end to a conflict situation, sometimes even before proceedings are initiated. Reports are a powerful tool. Impartiality and experience mean that our bailiffs can deliver reports that accurately ascertain the facts. A bailiff’s report has a lot of weight in legal proceedings and can make a strong impact.

Note that the new Code of Civil Procedure likens a bailiff’s report to an expert’s appraisal.

Web report

With rapidly emerging information technology and the abundance of activity on social media, web reports now provide solid evidence in conflict situations online. Of course, reports have to be produced as part of an emergency strategy, given the volatile nature of information found on the web. PAQUETTE offers web reporting services, particularly in cases involving equipment malfunctions, data theft, false advertising and non-compliant websites, as well as reputational damage and unfair competition. Gathering credible evidence through a web report is an undeniable advantage to help you restore the situation. PAQUETTE places its most “connected” specialists at your disposal.

Appraisal/Liquidation

Appraisal
We put the skills and experience of assessors subject to the highest standards and the most stringent rules to work for you. Their professionalism is your assurance of certified value.
Our bailiffs assigned to appraisals are trained and certified by the Association québécoise des évaluateurs spécialisés en biens réels et personnels réels et mobiliers (AQEBRPRM).

Liquidation
PAQUETTE has also developed an approach mainly using calls for tenders and private sales, thereby maximizing revenues and minimizing costs to our clients.

Inventory

PAQUETTE offers inventory services. Once the inventory is complete, our bailiffs submit a comprehensive, precise report signed under the oath of office. This service gives you a concrete advantage when publishing rights, renewing a claim or realizing on rights.
