2023A narrow reading of the statutory language of section 170.3, subdivision (b)(2) requiring parties to assert claims of actual bias or prejudice would render it inapplicable to many instances in which the Legislature intended it to apply. “[T]he Legislature does not engage in idle acts, and no part of its enactments should be rendered surplusage if a construction is available that avoids doing so.” (Mendoza v. Nordstrom, Inc. (2017) 2 Cal.5th 1074, 1087 .) Further, such an interpretation aligns with the intent of the Legislature as section 170.3, subdivision (b)(2) was enacted to “assure that ev

2018While we generally conceptualize defense counsel as representing the interests of both the insurer and the insured ( Long v. Century Indemnity Co., supra, 163 Cal.App.4th at p. 1468 , 78 Cal.Rptr.3d 483 ), they are not necessarily both clients "in a matter" as contemplated by rule 3-310(C)(1).

2023(Wellpoint, supra, 59 Cal.App.4th at p. 19 [“The privilege “covers all forms of communication, including the transmission of specific documents . . . .”]; Titmas v. Superior Court (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 738, 744 [same]; In re Navarro (1979) 93 Cal.App.3d 325, 329-330 [attorney-client privilege protects “the identification of . . . document[s] transmitted”]; Clark v.

Thus, the document production categories requesting production of documents transmitted from PVUSD to the investigator must also be quashed.7 Requiring the investigator to produce t

2008Notably, however, rule 2-200 does not purport to restrict attorney compensation on any basis other than a division of fees.” (Huskinson & Brown v. Wolf, supra, 32 Cal.4th at p. 458 .) The court found an award based on the reasonable value of the services was not a fee division within the prohibition of the rule. “[S]uch an award involves no apportionment of the fees that the client paid or has agreed to pay . . . .” (Id. at p. 459.) *1404 The court found support for its position from statutes and cases allowing a lawyer who renders services under a voidable or unenforceable agreement to recove

2008“Where services are rendered under a contractual compensation arrangement that is unenforceable as against public policy, but the subject services are not otherwise prohibited, quantum meruit may be allowed.” (Huskinson & Brown v. Wolf, supra, 32 Cal.4th at p. 463 .) Strong’s causes of action against Suojanen for the reasonable value of her services survived a demurrer in the trial court, and she can recover from him in quantum meruit if she proves her case as pleaded.

1981Discussion In Comden v. Superior Court, supra, 20 Cal. 3d 906 , the court, in announcing its holding, stated: “When trial counsel foresees the possibility his continued representation of a client may fall within the prohibition of rule 2-111(A)(4) because he or a member of his firm ought to testify on behalf of such client at trial, he should resolve any doubt in favor of preserving the integrity of his testimony and against his continued participation as trial counsel.

1978"The preservation of public trust both in the scrupulous administration of justice and in the integrity of the bar is paramount.... (7) (See fn. 3.) [The client's recognizably important right to counsel of his choice] must yield, however, to considerations of ethics which run to the very integrity of our judicial process." ( Hull v. Celanese Corporation (2d Cir.1975) 513 F.2d 568 , 572.)

1971It pointed out that the prohibition of the rule “only operates to prevent variations in the price established by the manufacturer or wholesaler.” ( 69 Cal.2d at p. 180 .) So here the legislative limitation in sections 62482, 62483 and 62484 does not affect the director’s power to fix the basic prices higher or lower than the general standard fixed by section 62487 upon making the required findings of the necessity for such prices.

1962Appellants contend, however, that this court ought to follow the reasoning of Wilkins v. Abbey (1938) 168 Misc. 416 [ 5 N.Y.S.2d 826 ], where the court held *185 that the use of affidavits of jurors to show misconduct on the part of third parties did not fall within the prohibition of the rule that jurors will not be heard to impeach their verdict.
