The law surrounding privilege and privileged communications is nuanced, which can lead to strife when not fully understood. Moreover, it is not simply a rule of evidence for litigators, but an area that touches upon every area of a lawyer’s practice. This webinar will take a close look at some of the tricky issues that civil practitioners face and help with navigating around these issues when they do arise.

Topics covered will include:

  • Sources of privilege
  • Privilege vs confidentiality
  • Who has the privilege in life and after death?
  • An update on Lambie v Addleman
  • What the phrases "without prejudice” and “without prejudice save as to costs” actually mean, and when and whether to use them
  • Waiver of privilege
  • Joint and successive privilege.
Presenter: Stephen Caradus
