242 Legal professional privilege

(1)

Nothing in this Act affects the right of a person to refuse to give information (including by answering a question) or produce a document if:

(a)

the information would be privileged from being given on the ground of legal professional privilege; or

(b)

the document would be privileged from being produced on the ground of legal professional privilege.

(2)

The fact that a person has provided a description of information or documents that may be or are privileged from being given or produced on the ground of legal professional privilege does not, of itself, amount to a waiver of the privilege.
