Section 84
Disposition versions
84. A chartered professional accountant who has been served notice of a complaint or is informed of an inquiry regarding his conduct or professional competence cannot communicate, directly or indirectly, with the complainant without first obtaining written permission from the syndic or the syndic responsible for the inquiry.
He shall not harass, intimidate, threaten or in any way attempt to influence the complainant, a witness or any other person involved in the events relating to the inquiry or complaint.
The following are deemed to constitute intimidation or undue influence:
(1) instituting judicial proceedings related to the request for an inquiry or the filing of a complaint, except if they concern a claim for professional fees;
(2) including, in a transaction, a commitment by the complainant to cease cooperating with the syndic.
For the purposes of this section, “complainant” means any person who submits information to a syndic alleging that a chartered professional accountant has committed an offence referred to in section 116 of the Professional Code (chapter C-26).
