4. As of receipt by the syndic of an application for conciliation in respect of an account, the acupuncturist may not institute an action for recovery of fees so long as the dispute can be settled by conciliation or arbitration, except with the authorization of the syndic when there is reason to believe that failure to institute an action will jeopardize recovery of the fees.
The acupuncturist may however apply for provisional measures as provided in article 940.4 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25).
