U.S.C., Title 28, No. 829 [now 1927] (cost; The rule does not affect the lawyer whose lia­bil­i­ty is incurred. The rule is not intend­ed to tem­per the enthu­si­asm or cre­ativ­i­ty of a lawyer in pur­su­ing fac­tu­al or legal the­o­ries. It is expect­ed that the court will not use the wis­dom of ret­ro­spec­tive and test the behav­iour of the sig­na­to­ry by ques­tion­ing what to believe at the time the let­ter, move­ment or oth­er doc­u­ment was filed. There­fore, what con­sti­tutes an appro­pri­ate inves­ti­ga­tion may depend on fac­tors of the time avail­able to the sig­na­to­ry for the inves­ti­ga­tion; whether he had to rely on a client to refer to mis­in­for­ma­tion about the facts under­ly­ing the brief, move­ment or oth­er doc­u­ment; Whether the writ­ten pro­ce­dure, appli­ca­tions or oth­er doc­u­ments were based on a plau­si­ble view of the law; or whether he was depen­dent on Denser­ate or anoth­er mem­ber of the bar. The pow­er of the court to act on its part is main­tained, but on the con­di­tion that it is done by a show-cause-order. This pro­ce­dure pro­vides the per­son with a noti­fi­ca­tion and the abil­i­ty to respond. The review pro­vides that a fine imposed as a result of a court order is lim­it­ed to a penal­ty to be paid in court and is only imposed if the sub­stan­tive deci­sion is made before a vol­un­tary dis­missal or agree­ment of the par­ties for the set­tle­ment of the applicant‘s rights or against the appli­cant. Par­ties involved in a case should not be con­front­ed at a lat­er date with an unex­pect­ed injunc­tion from the Tri­bunal, which results in fines that could have jeop­ar­dized their will­ing­ness to vol­un­tar­i­ly set­tle or dis­miss a case. Since whistle­blow­ing orders are gen­er­al­ly grant­ed only in sit­u­a­tions akin to non-com­pli­ance with the court, the rule does not pro­vide an appli­cant with a “safe haven” to with­draw a claim, a defence, etc., fol­low­ing the adop­tion of an expo­sure deci­sion at the ini­tia­tive of the court.

How­ev­er, such cor­rec­tive action should be tak­en into account in the deci­sion, which must be applied, if so, if the court, after review­ing the applicant‘s response, con­cludes that there is an infringe­ment. (a) sig­na­ture. Each brief, writ­ten request and oth­er doc­u­ment must be signed by at least one lawyer on behalf of the lawyer — or by a par­ty in per­son if the par­ty is not rep­re­sent­ed. The doc­u­ment must indi­cate the address, email address and tele­phone num­ber of the sig­na­to­ry. Unless there is a rule or statute to the con­trary, there is no need to review a brief or include a sworn statement.
