Because partners Lim Kien Huat and Hasniza of Messrs Lee & Lim are likely material witnesses and Lim has a direct pecuniary interest in the subject matter, the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules r27(a) and r28(a) and controlling authorities require disqualification of the entire firm; allowing another member of the same firm to act would risk conflict and embarrassment to the administration of justice.
