- High Court
The court inspected the documents and held 19 emails were confidential communications between Advance Property and its solicitors made for the purpose of legal advice and, because Mitre 10 shared a closely aligned/common interest (Advance Property acting effectively as Mitre 10's agent in the purchase/nomination), common interest privilege applied to extend that privilege to Mitre 10; four emails were administrative settlement communications and not privileged and must be disclosed.
