[BC] Public File now must include Articles of Inc. and Bylaws

[Mike McCarthy]

In my experince, it does until it's overturned either by appeal or the
next party who might challenge it at the circuit or adminstrative level.
But anything which occurs prior to the apealing ajudication case is
potentially past any grace period. In this case, the fine would not be
returned unless the payee sues to recover. Is it worth it at that
point....not likely unless it's more than say $10K AND they have a gopd
argument for not pursuing it in the first place.  Courts do not take
kindly to after the fact litigation where the party waives it's rights.
