California Court of Appeal

The trial court did not err in determining that the defendant-insured in this case had a right to independent counsel rather than counsel provided by the intervenor-insurer and in disqualifying said counsel, where: 1) there is an actual conflict of interest between the defendant-insured and the intervenor-insurer; and 2) it was proper to disqualify counsel because counsel had simultaneously represented defendant-insured and intervenor-insurer.
