The court disqualified the solicitor because evidence established a real likelihood he would be a necessary witness on material and disputed facts arising from prior acting for the company and involvement in handling arbitration monies; that likelihood, together with a pending disciplinary complaint and prior advisory role, created an objective appearance of conflict incompatible with the administration of justice under LPPE Rules 1978 and the court’s inherent supervisory jurisdiction, warranting recusal and costs.
