consider, before applying this special juris– diction, whether there was real mischief and prejudice. His Lordship, after stating the facts, said that if this had been a case where Mr. Munday, having obtained confidential information from the plaintiff, then sought to act for the defendants, he should have said it was a case in which the Solicitor could not discharge his duty to the defendants without availing himself of the information of the plaintiff. But what were the facts here ? The com– munications were all made by the plaintiff to Mr. Munday at a time when Mr. Clarke, the other partner, was away for his vacation, and Mr. Clarke knew nothing about the matter. Before his return the firm ceased to act for the plaintiff; and in these circum– stances was there any reason why Mr. Clarke should not be allowed to act in the arbitra– tion for the company ? There could be no resulting prejudice or mischief, and having regard to the undertaking given by the appellants that the name of the Solicitors on the record should be changed from the firm name to that of Clark alone, there was no ground whatever for granting an injunction. His Lordship then discussed the authorities dealing with the question, and came to the conclusion that they did not prove the existence of the general rule alleged by the respondent. The Court must consider in each case whether there was any real mischief to be guarded against. In the present case he thought there was not, and the order o f Mr. Justice Warrington granting an injunction must be discharged. Lord Justice Fletcher Moulton and Lord Justice Buckley delivered judgments to the same effect.
