Pearl v. 305 East 92nd Street Corp

In Pearl v. 305 East 92nd Street Corp., 156 AD2d 122 (1st Dept, 1989), the plaintiff moved to disqualify the attorney/co-defendant from representing itself and another defendant. The defendants denied any conflict of interest. The court held that "plaintiff's alleged solicitude for potential conflict between his adversaries is totally rejected by the defendant-clients themselves, which should have concluded the court's inquiry on this score" (Id., 123).
