- HCA3391/2016
Communications and materials created by the liquidators and their agents with the six experts after the protective writ was issued were produced for the dominant purpose of obtaining legal advice and evidence for contemplated or pending litigation; therefore they are protected by litigation privilege. The affidavits filed in ex parte applications disclosed only conclusions or effects of those communications and did not deploy the contents so as to waive privilege. Accordingly the discovery/inspection summons is dismissed.
