- High Court
The Russell McVeagh minutes are communications protected by legal professional privilege under ss 53-54 of the Evidence Act 2006 and privilege was not waived by their possession by a former employee; they must be excluded. The Gilchrist memorandum is not privileged, lacks necessary confidentiality to justify exclusion under s 69, and is admissible.
