- High Court
The application for declarations and sanctions was refused. The 22 November 2019 email either lacked settlement privilege because it amounted to a unilateral threat amounting to 'demanding by menaces' (unambiguous impropriety) or, in any event, the applicant had waived privilege; there was no foundation to the claimed breaches or misrepresentation sufficient to justify the declaratory relief or sanctions sought. Costs were reserved.
