The decision addresses whether Joselene Yacoub’s lawyers, Harold Niman and Hayley Cairns, should be removed due to an alleged conflict of interest arising from Niman’s brief 2018 consultation with the respondent, Louis Serafini Jr., regarding his divorce from a former spouse.
The court finds that while a solicitor-client relationship existed, the matters were not sufficiently related and no relevant confidential information was imparted.
The motion to remove counsel is dismissed.
