CONFIDENTIALITY OF GOVERNMENT INFORMATION IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Michael Rennie has released the recent CPD paper that he presented on Legal Professional Privilege and Public Interest Immunity.  The paper addresses the methods of asserting these forms of privilege in NSW and Commonwealth jurisdictions, an overview of the two fields of privilege and a discussion of how the two areas might interact and overlap.  Aimed at government regulators the paper is intended to be a useful toolkit for government agencies managing the confidentiality of their information in legal proceedings.
