The plaintiffs brought a motion to remove the defendant MVAC's counsel of record from the tort claim.
The counsel was acting for MVAC in both the accident benefits claim and the tort claim.
After initially accepting the plaintiff's catastrophic impairment designation, the counsel abruptly reversed the decision hours later without explanation.
The court found that a reasonably informed onlooker would perceive a possibility of conflict and misuse of information, warranting the disqualification of counsel to maintain the integrity of the administration of justice.
