This motion concerned the disclosure of documents from a solicitor's file related to an estate, with the defendants claiming solicitor-client and litigation privilege.
The plaintiff sought disclosure or court inspection to determine the validity of the privilege claims.
The court ordered certain documents to be produced for judicial inspection, specifically those where the claim for privilege was dubious or where the parties' interests might not have been adverse at the time of creation.
However, the court upheld the privilege claims for other documents, finding that the parties were clearly adverse in interest when those communications were made, thus dismissing the balance of the plaintiff's motion for those documents.
