(c) When there is reason to believe that any requirement for issuance of the certificate of registration no longer exists or that the foreign legal consultant has violated or is about to violate any of the provisions of Rule 4 or Rules 9.05 to 9.12, the chief disciplinary counsel may issue a notice directing the foreign legal consultant to show cause why he or she should not be ordered to cease and desist from specified acts or conduct or why the certificate of registration should not be suspended or revoked. If the chief disciplinary counsel has probable cause to believe that the certificate of registration should be suspended or revoked, the chief disciplinary counsel shall file an information in this Court.
