This is the first Australian book devoted solely to the law of legal professional privilege. It examines, in depth, the common law doctrine of legal professional privilege and the provisions of the Evidence Act 1995, relating to client legal privilege. It considers the elements of the definition of the principle, the history of the principle, and its rationales. It contains detailed analysis of the relevant statutory provisions and shows how, in recent years, the "judicially set pendulum" has swung between the differing interests which support and oppose the doctrine.
