How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that movants had waived their objection to a conflict of interest when they waited over two years, and only 33 days before the scheduled trial date, to file a motion to disqualify
• denying motion for disqualification where it was asserted just prior to the scheduled trial date
• conflict of interest problems should not be delayed and should be raised long before time when disqualification “would cast a shadow over the trial itself’
• “An order disqualifying counsel or refusing to disqualify counsel will not be disturbed if the record reveals any sound basis for the [bankruptcy] court’s action.”
• waiver where disqualification not raised for more than two and half years after notice of representation and just prior to trial
• \It is well settled that a former client who is entitled to object to an attorney representing an opposing party on the ground of conflict of interest but who knowingly refrains from asserting it promptly is deemed to have waived that right.\
