HUGHES, J.,
dissenting.
hi respectfully dissent. I can find no prejudice to T & T on the merits.
The letter and answer put T & T on notice, but did not admit anything leading to liability. The affidavit and deposition likewise revealed only the true facts, which are uncontested, and did nothing to harm T & T on the merits.
The facts may be adverse to T & T on the issue of coverage, but I don’t see how discovering the truth any quicker would have helped. And had a separate “conflict” counsel been present from day one, the result would be the same.
