The moving parties sought leave to appeal a decision dismissing their motion to disqualify the respondents' counsel of record due to an alleged conflict of interest.
The conflict allegation arose after an associate lawyer, who previously worked at the law firm representing the moving parties, joined the law firm representing the respondents.
The court applied the test for leave to appeal under Rule 62.02(4) of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The court found no conflicting decision to satisfy Rule 62.02(4)(a) and no reason to doubt the correctness of the motion judge's order or any matter of general importance to satisfy Rule 62.02(4)(b).
The motion for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondents.
