Court allowed the application to disqualify Mr CC Quek because his admitted prior contact with the 3rd Defendant placed him in a position where he may be a material witness and/or possessed confidential information, creating an appearance of conflict and embarrassment under the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules 1978; the court exercised its inherent jurisdiction and balanced the right to counsel of choice against the interests of fairness and public confidence, concluding disqualification was necessary.
