Justice COPELAND
dissenting in part.
I must respectfully dissent in part. I do not agree with the majority opinion holding that under the facts there exists a conflict of interest sufficiently grave to disqualify Moore, Van Allen and Allen as counsel for the receivers of the seven corporate defendants. Judge Seay has unflinchingly stuck with this difficult matter from its inception. Many obstacles have been thrown in his path. I would return the matter to Judge Seay or some other judge assigned to Stanly County, for further hearings and appropriate findings as to the potential conflict of interest.
I concur in that portion of the opinion approving the order awarding legal fees to the Moore, Van Allen and Allen firm for services rendered as attorneys for the receivers.
