The court held that the doctrine of partial waiver cannot apply so as to preserve privilege at the main trial where privileged documents have been deployed at a preliminary issue trial on limitations; deployment in that context will generally constitute waiver for the main trial to ensure fairness and consistency, but the plaintiff was granted leave to withdraw the exhibited affidavit within a short period to preserve rights where possible.
