Ken (RCIC) is representing a husband and wife in a refugee claim. Their ethnic group was being

persecuted in their home country; mob violence, unwarranted jailing, death threats, and much

more. After being retained by both of them, Ken (RCIC) was approached by the wife who said

she needed to talk about the occasion when she was raped. Her husband does not know about

the incident, but she does not want him to find out.

She wants to discuss the details with Ken (RCIC) and provide evidence for the hearing (RPD), but

she wants to keep the information from her husband. In her country, there is strong

expectation that the husband should abandon a wife who has been raped by another man.

Q: What articles & duties (if any) would have been breached by Ken in this scenario? What is

your opinion? Any remedies? Please explain.
