Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the police's request to lift the defense counsel's duty of secrecy. The police argued that specific information required disclosure, but the court relied on a binding Supreme Court precedent establishing the duty's absolute nature. Consequently, the lower court's decision upholding the confidentiality obligation was confirmed without exception.
