On June 29th, Justice Moir of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia directed a means by which parties to a wrongful dismissal action could deal with privileged communications sent and received by the plaintiff on his former employers’ work system. He directed a review by the plaintiff and his counsel, either at the defendant counsel’s office or elsewhere with an undertaking by plaintiff’s counsel not to make copies.
Justice Moir’s order also includes a thorough discussion about the discovery of facts obtained by a witness in a communication that is subject to litigation privilege.
Hat tip to Peg Duncan!
