(2)  the fact that an architect is in a situation of conflict of interest or in a context that is such that his or her professional independence could be questioned;

(3)  inducement by the client to perform illegal, unjust or fraudulent acts;

(4)  the fact that the client refuses to pay the architect’s fee; and

(5)  the fact that the architect has been misled by the client or the client has failed to co-operate.
