Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The dispute concerned the scope of privilege protecting certain communications, specifically whether a document prepared at the direction of in-house counsel, but primarily for business purposes rather than legal advice, was protected, and whether the privilege was waived by disclosure to a third-party consultant. The court reasoned that the primary purpose of the communication must be to facilitate the rendition of legal advice for the privilege to apply, and finding that the document's main purpose was business-related, it was not protected; furthermore, disclosure to an external consultant acting as a necessary adjunct to the provision of legal services did not constitute a waiver of the privilege.
