The plaintiff condominium corporation brought a motion to remove the defendants' lawyer, who was also a defendant, arguing he would be a material witness and had a conflict of interest.
The defendants brought a cross-motion to remove the plaintiff's lawyers, alleging they had become part of the litigation and were necessary witnesses.
The court granted the plaintiff's motion in part, disqualifying the defendants' lawyer for issues to be tried after an upcoming June 2012 trial, but allowing him to remain for the June trial itself.
The defendants' cross-motion to remove the plaintiff's lawyers was dismissed.
