Introduction
Privilege protects certain information from being revealed by a witness while testifying in court.
Any privileged information obtained by wiretap is inadmissible and remains privileged.[1]
Any common law privilege, including settlement privilege and solicitor-client privilege, cannot be abrogated by legislation without "clear and explicit statutory language".[2]
