The plaintiff brought a motion to remove the defendant's counsel of record, alleging a conflict of interest because she had previously consulted with another lawyer at the same firm regarding her maternity leave dispute.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the lawyer consulted had no recollection of the discussion, no file was opened, and the firm had implemented sufficient safeguards and undertakings to ensure no confidential information would be shared with the defendant's counsel.
The court also ordered the plaintiff's motion materials sealed to provide added comfort.
