Hаrvey currently represents а smаll business client fоr transactiоnal matters including land purchases, prоduct sales, and intellectual property rights. Smith, a tort victim, approaches Harvey seeking representation for a negligence lawsuit against the small business client over damage to Smith’s expensive car. During initial interview, Smith gives very few details about the accident or the scope of damages, except to identify the Harvey's small business client as the intended defendant and to specify that the incident involved a scraped fender in a parking garage. Harvey believes there is no significant risk that representation of the small business client would materially limit his responsibilities to Smith. As Harvey believes there is no conflict of interest, he does not disclose to Smith that he represents other party currently, nor did he seek consent from either Smith or his small business client that he would like to proceed with representing Smith.May Harvey proceed with representing Smith in the negligence lawsuit ?
Rаilrоаd Defense Attоrney regulаrly represented Railrоad Company in connection with accidents at railroad crossings. One of Railroad Company's trains struck car at a rural crossing. Driver of car was severely injured. Almost immediately after accident, Railroad Company Defense Attorney, anticipating litigation, sent investigator to scene to take photographs of crossing. Several photographs taken reflected stand of trees that obscured view of railroad crossing signs and protective barriers, and accurately depicted limited sight lines for driver approaching crossing at time of accident (something that would also restrict ability of driver to see train coming and would be important in any litigation over accident). Plaintiff later sued Railroad Company over accident. By time litigation was filed, and discovery commenced, entire stand of trees had been cut down.Plaintiff sought discovery of photographs taken by Railroad Defense Attorney investigator immediately after accident, arguing - after considerable due diligence to find other evidence or photographs that depicted stand of trees at time of accident - that there was no other proof that tree stand existed at time of accident before it was cut down. Defense Attorney declined to turn over photographs, citing work-product doctrine. Trial judge issued protective order against production of tree stand photos, ruling that work-product doctrine protected photographs from discovery as privileged.Was trial judge correct in issuing protective order to prevent discovery of photos ?
