On payment of all fees and dues payable by such practitioner to the
college, the registrar is required to write his name and the date on
the margin of the certificate, and the certificate is deemed to be
issued only from such date; any fees properly charged during the time
in which a name was erased from the register are legally recoverable on
production of the certificate of registration at time of suit (_ib._).
No certificate is issued to any practitioner indebted to the college,
nor until the annual fee for the certificate prescribed by the statute
and the by-laws of the college is paid (_ib._).
If a practitioner omits to take out such certificate, he shall not be
entitled thereto until he pays the certificate fee, and any other fees
or dues which he owes the college (_ib._).
After twelve months’ default in taking out such certificate, and two
months’ notice of default by registered letter to the registered
address of the defaulter, if payment is not made, the registrar is
required to erase his name and the provisions as to unregistered
practitioners forthwith apply (_ib._).
Such practitioner may, unless otherwise disqualified, obtain
re-registration and re-instatement to full privileges by applying
to the registrar and paying up the fees and dues and taking out his
certificate (_ib._).
NEGLECT TO REGISTER.—Those entitled to register and neglecting so
to do are not entitled to any rights or privileges conferred by
registration, and are liable to all the penalties against unqualified
or unregistered practitioners (Rev. St., 1887, c. 148, s. 42).
FRAUDULENT REGISTRATION.—If a person procures registration by means
of false or fraudulent representations it is lawful for the registrar,
on a receipt of sufficient evidence of such falsity or fraud, to
represent the matter to the council, and on the written order of the
president, attested by the seal of the college, to erase his name from
the register and publish the fact and cause of erasure in the Ontario
_Gazette_; and after such notice such person ceases to be a member of
said college and to enjoy the privileges conferred by registration
without the express sanction of the council (_ib._, s. 44 [1]).
OFFENCES AND PENALTIES.—Wilfully procuring or attempting to procure
registration by false or fraudulent representations is punishable with
a penalty not exceeding $100. Knowingly aiding and assisting therein is
punishable with a penalty of from $20 to $50 for each offence (_ib._,
s. 44 [2]).
Practising without registration for hire, gain, or hope of reward is
punishable with a penalty of from $25 to $100 (_ib._, s. 45).
A person wilfully or falsely pretending to be a physician, doctor of
medicine, surgeon or general practitioner, or assuming any title,
addition, or description other than that he actually possesses and is
legally entitled to, is punishable with a penalty of from $10 to $50
(_ib._, s. 46).
