Supervisory Authority v. Professional Regarding Failure to Report Debt Enforcement

The supervisory authority found that a professional was in violation of professional regulations, specifically Articles 12 lit. a and j of the Federal Act on Attorneys, for failing to notify the authority that they no longer met the legal prerequisites for registration, namely the absence of outstanding debt enforcement certificates. The court reasoned that failing to report a change in registered data, particularly the existence of debt enforcement actions that invalidate the required certification, breaches the duty under Article 12 lit. j to report changes, and also violates the general duty under Article 12 lit. a to practice law diligently and adhere strictly to the rule of law, as remaining registered without meeting the necessary conditions constitutes a serious breach by deceiving authorities and the public.
