Answer preview
In this case, the client can report the advocate to the ministry of justice for such violation. The advocate may end up losing their practicing certificate due to this violation. The other alternative option that the client can take is dismissing the advocate for violating the code of confidentiality. The client can also file a suit against the advocate for such violation because such breach of confidentiality jeopardizes the lady’s chances of coming up with a strong case with high chances of success. When the matter of the breach of duty of care is reported to the ministry of justice, they can opt to suspend the lawyer from the role of an advocate for a period not exceeding three years per article 29 of the Code of Law practice (Alblowi, 2016).
