Annotator's note. Since § 7-90-803 is similar to § 7-115-103 as it existed prior to the 2003 repeal and reenactment of article 115 of title 7, to § 7-9-108 as it existed prior to the 1993 recodification of the "Colorado Business Corporation Act", articles 101 to 117 of title 7, and to laws antecedent thereto, a case construing a predecessor provision has been included in the annotations to this section.
The secretary of state has the right to treat a report as not filed and refuse to file it until the fee is paid and until then it would not be filed, notwithstanding its delivery into his possession. Sherman v. Credit Fin. Corp., 78 Colo. 330, 241 P. 722 (1925).
And the secretary of state is not obliged to treat a check, as payment of the fee, even if properly endorsed. Sherman v. Credit Fin. Corp., 78 Colo. 330, 241 P. 722 (1925).
