Appraisal Report Admissibility in Dispute Over Privileged Evidence
Suisse · Canton de Genève (CH-GE)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case concerns whether certain evidence, specifically an appraisal report, should be admitted in a dispute where one party claimed it was privileged under attorney-client or work-product doctrines, and the opposing party sought to compel its production. The court reasoned that the appraisal report, prepared by an independent expert prior to anticipated litigation to establish valuation, did not fall under the protections of either the attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine because it was not created in anticipation of litigation by an agent of the attorney for the purpose of trial preparation, but rather for a pre-litigation business purpose, thus compelling its disclosure.
