Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a residents association, sought a declaratory order that a law firm's conduct in switching from representing them to representing their landlord constituted unethical practice. The firm had initially represented the residents in ejectment cases against the landlord in 2002-2004, but later represented the landlord in fresh ejectment proceedings in 2005-2006.
