The court held that the pre-retainer meeting between a partner of the plaintiff's firm and the 1st defendant about matters central to the litigation created a reasonable perception of conflict of interest; whether confidential information was actually disclosed was immaterial to the decision. To preserve the integrity and appearance of justice the firm (Messrs. Izral Partnership) was disqualified from acting for the plaintiff.
