The appellants appealed an order regarding a solicitor conflict of interest.
Leave to appeal was granted on a narrow issue regarding remedy.
The appellants conceded that if the appeal was limited to this single issue—specifically, whether precautionary measures could be put in place after the fact, without arguing that the presumption of receipt of privileged information did not apply—the appeal could not succeed.
The Divisional Court held that the appeal was limited to the narrow ground on which leave was granted and dismissed the appeal, awarding costs to the respondents.
