LEGAL PROFESSION (SOLICITORS) RULES 2006 (REPEALED) - RULE 4
Acting Against a Former Client
4. Acting Against a Former Client
Consistent with the duty which a practitioner has to preserve the
confidentiality of a client's affairs, a practitioner must not accept a
retainer to act for another person in any action or proceedings against, or in
opposition to, the interest of a person:
(a) for whom the practitioner or the firm, of which the
practitioner was a partner, has acted previously; and
(b) from whom the practitioner or the practitioner's firm has
thereby acquired information confidential to that person and material to the
action or proceedings; and
that person might reasonably conclude that there is a real possibility the
information will be used to the person's detriment.
