Motion to remove opposing counsel for conflict of interest dismissed due to adequate ethical wall.
The moving party husband sought an order to remove the responding party wife's solicitor of record on the basis of a conflict of interest arising from a prior consultation with another lawyer at the same firm.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the ethical wall erected by the law firm was sufficient to rebut the presumption that confidential information would be shared, and that the risk of prejudice was merely speculative.
