Rule 6-202. Termination or Suspension of Proceedings.

The Committee may decline, suspend, or terminate jurisdiction if the client, in addition to disputing the fee, claims any other form of relief against the lawyer arising out of the same set of circumstances, including any claim of malpractice or professional misconduct. Any claim or evidence of professional misconduct within the meaning of the Code of Professional Responsibility may be referred in a separate report by the arbitrators or the Committee to the General Counsel's Office for consideration under its normal procedures.
