12.1
Introduction and Objectives

The objectives of the Withdrawal of Service Module are:

  • to remind you of your rights and obligations when transferring a file to new counsel; 
  • to recognize the circumstances in which you must withdraw services, and the circumstances in which you may withdraw services;
  • to learn the procedure for withdrawing services; and
  • to understand that you must not place your client in a position of disadvantage as a result of withdrawing legal services. 
While we aim to present a comprehensive module, this module is not exhaustive. This module is not a substitute for exercising professional judgment and does not constitute legal advice.
