Client-solicitor privilege PDF Print E-mail
A right that belongs to the client of a Solicitor that the Solicitor will keep any information or words spoken to him during the provision of the legal services to that client, strictly confidential. This includes being shielded from giving evidence before a court of law. The client may, expressly or impliedly, waive the privilege and, exceptionally, the Solicitor may also waive it if the disclosure of the information may prevent a serious crime.
