29. Unless they have a compelling reason for doing so, chartered administrators may not cease or refuse to act for the account of a client.

The following shall, in particular, constitute compelling reasons:

(1)  loss of trust between the chartered administrator and the client;

(2)  lack of cooperation on the client’s part;

(3)  the fact that the chartered administrator is in a real or apparent situation of conflict of interest or in a situation such that their professional independence could be questioned;

(4)  the fact of being incited by the client to perform illegal, unfair or fraudulent acts;

(5)  refusal by the client to pay expenses or fees due to the chartered administrator; and

(6)  the fact that the foreseeable consequences of the work, interventions or research are such as to go against or be detrimental for the public.
