Where payment of the account has been withdrawn or withheld by the member of the Order from the funds that he holds or receives for or on behalf of his client, the period runs from the moment on which the client becomes aware of the withdrawal or withholding.
An application for conciliation in respect of an account whose full amount has not been paid may be sent to the syndic upon the expiry of the 45-day period provided that it is sent before proceedings on the account are served on the client.
