A routine notice of accident submitted by the insured to its insurer as part of the insurance claim process is not privileged and must be disclosed; a non-party insurer cannot claim privilege over such a document unless the insurer proves the document was created with the dominant purpose of obtaining legal advice or preparing litigation material; the correspondence was not ruled on and remains to be considered if specifically challenged.
