Client-solicitor privilege
|
|
Client-solicitor privilegeA right that belongs to the client of a lawyer that the latter keep any information or words spoken to him during the provision of the legal services to that client, strictly confidential. This includes being shielded from testimony before a court of law. The client may, expressly or impliedly, waive the privilege and, exceptionally, it may also be waived by the lawyer if the disclosure of the information may prevent a serious crime.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
Client
Practice. One who employs and retains an attorney or counsellor to manage or defend a suit or action in which he is a party, or to advise him about some legal matters.
Lawyer
A person licensed to practice law; other words for "lawyer" include: attorney, counsel, solicitor and barrister.
Information
1) An accusation or complaint made in writing to a court of competent jurisdiction, charging some person with a specific violation of some public law. 2) In the French law, the term information is used to signify the act or instrument which contains the depositions of witnesses against the accused.
Provision
1) Common law. The property which a drawer of a bill of exchange places in the hands of a drawee; as, for example, by remittances, or when the drawee is indebted to the drawer when the bill becomes due, provision is said to have been made. Acceptance always presumes a provision. 2) French law. An allowance granted by a judge to a party for his support; which is to be paid before there is a definitive judgment. In a civil case, for example, it is an allowance made to a wife who is separated from her hushand.
Legal
That which is according to law. It is used in opposition to equitable, as the legal estate is, in the trustee, the equitable estate in the cestui que trust.
Confidential
Particularly in close trading relationships, giving access to confidential information and trade secrets to trading partners can be risky. A duty to keep such material confidential can be imposed. This needs to be in respect of keeping information secret, preventing disclosure to third parties or being used with a view to going into competition. A separate confidentiality agreement or a term in another agreement should address such issues both during and after the relationship.
Testimony
Evidence. The statement made by a witness under oath or affirmation
Court
A body in government to which the administration of justice is delegated.
Law
A rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society. The learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system.

Waive
A term applied to a woman as outlaw is applied to a man. A man is an outlaw, a woman is a waive.
Privilege
1) Civil law. A right which the nature of a debt gives to a creditor, and which entitles him to be preferred before other creditors. 2) Maritime law. An allowance to the master of a ship of the general nature with primage, being compensation or rather a gratuity customary in certain trades, and which the law assumes to be a fair and equitable allowance, because the contract on both sides is made under the knowledge such usage by the parties. 3) Rights. This word, taken its active sense, is a particular law, or a particular disposition of the law, which grants certain special prerogatives to some persons, contrary to common right. In its passive sense, it is the same prerogative granted by the same particular law.
Crime
An act or omission which is prohibited by criminal law. Each state sets out a limited series of acts (crimes) which are prohibited and punishes the commission of these acts by a fine, imprisonment or some other form of punishment. In exceptional cases, an omission to act can constitute a crime, such as failing to give assistance to a person in peril or failing to report a case of child abuse.
