OPINION OF THE COURT
Simons, J.
Stroock & Stroock & Lavan represent plaintiffs in this action to recover damages for asbestos contamination resulting from the use of fireproofing materials manufactured by defendant W. R. Grace & Co. Stroock had previously defended Grace in an action entitled City of Enterprise v Grace & Co. (Cir Ct, Coffee County, Ala, Civ No. 85-87), which also involved the contamination of a premises by asbestos. Thus, Grace moved to disqualify the Stroock firm from participating in the present action and the issue is whether it is entitled to that relief.
