- CACV70/2005
The court held that by stating and relying upon specific elements of the legal advice in the affirmation to justify the defendant's formation of a 'reasonable opinion' under clause 13.2, the defendant deployed the contents of privileged advice and thereby impliedly waived privilege; fairness required production of the legal advice in full and permitted cross-examination of Mr Lo to test genuineness and surrounding circumstances of the opinion, so the judge's discovery and cross-examination orders must stand and the appeal is dismissed.
