1151 An attorney who represented a husband in a personal injury action and his wife in a related claim for loss of consortium no longer represented the wife after she was divorced from the husband, voluntarily dismissed her loss of consortium claim, and agreed to relinquish any and all rights she might have in her former husband's lawsuit, so direct communication with her by an adverse attorney in the action was not a breach of ethics.
