EAOC 042 - An attorney may not represent a plaintiff in a malpractice suit against a doctor and simultaneously represent that doctor in a Chapter XI suit
Approved: January 12, 1978
Summary: An attorney may not represent a plaintiff in a malpractice suit against a doctor and simultaneously represent that doctor in a Chapter XI suit. The dual representation creates so many conflicts that even if all parties consent after full disclosure suit representation may be improper.
