2012-09-01

18.1. A bailiff must take reasonable measures to ensure that confidential information or documents relevant to the file are not disclosed to a partner, shareholder, director, officer or employee of a partnership or joint-stock company in which the bailiff practises the profession or has an interest, as soon as the bailiff becomes aware that the partner, shareholder, director, officer or employee has a conflict of interest.

The following factors must be taken into 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 bailiff’s file by the person in the conflict of interest;

(3)  the instructions 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 bailiff.
