The Court refused to restrain Minter Ellison from representing the Professional Conduct Committee in the strike out application because there was no objectively reasonable appearance of lack of independence or bias on the facts, the Committee had different legal advice during its investigation (complying with s73(4) HPCA Act 2003), and any conflict must be shown on the individual facts before the Court will prevent a party from instructing its chosen counsel.
