The following is my question:

In cases when personal interest is involved, few will stick to such principles as honesty and loyalty.

In the above question, can I use where instead of when? I think where will be better.

Thanks for your help.

I would probably use "where" too, but I don't know of any rule about it. Just native speaker intuition in this case.
