Professional privilege for confidential communications
 


Project No. 90

In 1990 the Commission was asked to consider what changes, if any, should be made to the law of professional privilege as regards the obligation to disclose confidential communications or records in judicial proceedings. In particular, the Commission was asked to recommend ‘whether clause 109 of the draft Evidence Bill in Appendix A to the 38th Report of the Australian Law Reform Commission, or any variation thereto, should be adopted in Western Australia’.
