Should a REALTOR® be asked to co-operate in any way in connection with a disciplinary investigation or proceeding, the REALTOR® shall place all pertinent facts before the proper Committee of the real estate Board or Association to which the REALTOR® belongs.

22.1 A REALTOR® who is being investigated for alleged unethical conduct should provide the appropriate Committee, upon request, with all materials and information in the REALTOR®'s possession in connection with the matter being investigated.

22.2 Where a REALTOR® is asked to assist the appropriate Committee in connection with a disciplinary investigation or proceeding involving another REALTOR®, the REALTOR® should provide all relevant materials and information in that REALTOR®'s possession, and be prepared to testify at any hearing of the matter. Such assistance should not be deemed a "controversy" within the meaning and intent of Article 25.

22.3 Where a REALTOR® has reasonable and probable grounds to believe:

(a) that another REALTOR® has apparently breached the Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice, and
(b) that a person will likely suffer serious damage as a consequence of the apparent breach, the REALTOR® should immediately report the apparent breach to the appropriate Board in writing with the reporting REALTOR®'s name, address and telephone number. The report should be made bona fide without malice or ulterior motive.
