On April 1, 2022, an Order was handed down by the Hearing Division of the Law Society Tribunal to suspend Dawn's license to provide legal services in Ontario, effective May 1, 2022. At present, Dawn has four active Highway Traffic Act files and is currently working on five Small Claims Court matters. One client, Francis Vendetti, has a hearing scheduled for April 22, 2022 in Provincial Offences Court.

1. What are Dawn's professional obligations to Francis? Can she represent him given the timing of the suspension in relation to the hearing?

2. What steps must Dawn take with respect to her existing open files?

3. On another one of her Small Claims Court matters, Dawn has only to fulfil a personal undertaking to provide financials to the other side. The required financial information is in the client file. Once the undertaking is provided, the matter will be concluded. Discuss Dawn's professional obligations with respect to this undertaking.
