    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    Confidential communications passing between a lawyer and client on matters within scope of the lawyerââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s retainer are generally subject to legal professional privilege if made for the dominant purpose of giving legal advice or communicating instructions or information to facilitate the provision of legal advice (ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"advice privilegeââ"šÂ¬Ã‚Â); or use in existing or anticipated litigation (ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"litigation privilegeââ"šÂ¬Ã‚Â). While litigation privilege extends to many third party communications, application of advice privilege to third party communications is more problematic.
