R v LISA JOY LOIZOU (2006)

PUBLISHED July 17, 2006
SHARE

There was a distinction between a defendant having to reveal what had been said to a solicitor to rebut an allegation of recent fabrication and volunteering information about the legal advice over and above stating that the refusal to answer questions had been as a result of receiving such advice. Once a defendant or defendant's solicitor gave evidence of the content or the reason for advice given, legal professional privilege was waived.
