Jamaica Public Service Co. Ltd., Appellant v. AIU Insurance Company, Respondents, Defendants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts' order disqualifying plaintiff's counsel, holding that the movant failed to satisfy the statutory requirements for disqualification under both DR 5-108(A)(1) and DR 5-108(A)(2). The court clarified the burden on a party seeking disqualification and found the information at issue was generally known.
