What is the test for discharging an associated attorney without cause?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cazares v. Saenz, 208 Cal.App.3d 279, 256 Cal.Rptr. 209 (Cal. App. 1989):
14 This rule would be particularly salutary if the associating attorney possesses the same rights as the client to discharge an associated attorney without cause because it would eliminate any financial incentive to do so. (See ante, p. 213; see also Fracasse v. Brent, supra, 6 Cal.3d at p. 371, 100 Cal.Rptr. 385, 494 P.2d 9.)
