19.3. A member must take reasonable measures to ensure that information or documents protected by professional secrecy are not disclosed to a partner, shareholder, director, officer or employee of a partnership or joint-stock company in which the member carries on professional activities or has an interest, as soon as the member becomes aware that the partner, shareholder, director, officer or employee is in a conflict of interest.

The following factors must be taken in particular account in assessing the effectiveness of such measures:

(1)  the size of the partnership or joint-stock company;

(2)  the precautions taken to prevent access to the member’s file by the person in the conflict of interest;

(3)  the instruction given to protect confidential information or documents relating to the conflict of interest;

(4)  the isolation of the person in the conflict of interest with respect to the member.
