In a County Court case, one party complained that the solicitors representing the other party, a corporation, had previously acted for them. The court made an order requiring the corporate litigant to appoint another firm of solicitors. The corporation appealed. The order was lifted. Its form was objectionable in that it positively required the appointment of a different firm. A proper order was merely an order that the solicitors should not continue to represent that litigant.
