Dealing other persons
34 Dealing other persons
34.1 A solicitor must not in any action or communication associated with
representing a client: 34.1.1 make any statement which grossly exceeds the
legitimate assertion of the rights or entitlements of the solicitor's client,
and which misleads or intimidates the other person,
34.1.2 threaten the
institution of criminal or disciplinary proceedings against the other person
if a civil liability to the solicitor's client is not satisfied, or
34.1.3
use tactics that go beyond legitimate advocacy and which are primarily
designed to embarrass or frustrate another person.
34.2 In the conduct or
promotion of a solicitor's practice, the solicitor must not seek instructions
for the provision of legal services in a manner likely to oppress or harass a
person who, by reason of some recent trauma or injury, or other circumstances,
is, or might reasonably be expected to be, at a significant disadvantage in
dealing with the solicitor at the time when the instructions are sought.
