A trustee's right to withhold disclosure of legal advice from a beneficiary on the ground of client legal privilege is determined by ordinary privilege principles, not by the beneficiary's proprietary interest in trust documents. Where legal advice is obtained by a trustee in discharge of its obligation to administer the trust (rather than for its personal benefit), any privilege is held jointly with all beneficiaries, including discretionary beneficiaries, and the trustee cannot assert the privilege against them. Trustees claiming privilege must adduce evidence specifically establishing that the communication was subject to an obligation of confidentiality from the beneficiary, not merely assert conclusions.
