Hartford Casualty Insurance Company v. Halliburton Company9/27/2001
at trial. Hartford relied only on the allegations and denials in its memoranda; therefore, the grant of summary judgment against Hartford was appropriate. Further, Hartford has failed to demonstrate that it made the settlements under compulsion of law. The result is that Hartford paid them as a volunteer, a position for which Mississippi law provides no recovery. Because Hartford twice failed to amend its complaint pursuant to two different agreed scheduling orders, denial of its subsequent leave to amend was proper. Lastly, it was not manifest error to deny Hartford's motion to disqualify attorney David Ringer. Hartford failed to establish that an attorney-client relationship ever existed between itself and Ringer. An attorney-client relationship is a condition precedent to an attorney disqualification for conflicts of interest with a former client.
. AFFIRMED.
PITTMAN, C.J., SMITH, WALLER, COBB AND DIAZ, JJ., CONCUR. BANKS AND McRAE, P.JJ., AND EASLEY, J., DISSENT WITHOUT SEPARATE OPINION.
