The court held that the defendant's proof of evidence is protected by legal professional privilege and that disclosure to the defence psychiatrist did not amount to a waiver of that privilege; because the prosecution will have the opportunity to cross-examine the defence expert and non-disclosure prior to trial would not cause prejudice, the application for disclosure under section 65DA(1)(b) was refused.
