The problem was that the per diem then gave the case to another per diem (that the attorney of record knew nothing about), without the instructions for what to agree/disagree with at the conference.

The court ruled the attorney of record was bound by the conduct of per diem #2, who agreed to things that the attorney of record was busy objecting to.

Outsourcing legal work can be a perilous business…the story and decision are here:
