A barrister must refuse a brief to advise if the barrister has information which is confidential to any person with different interests from those of the prospective client if:
> (a) the information may, as a real possibility, affect the prospective client’s interests in the matter on which advice is sought or may be detrimental to the interests of the first person, and
> (b) the person entitled to the confidentiality has not consented beforehand to the barrister using the information as the barrister thinks fit in giving advice.
