Book excerpt: Auburn, who has practiced and published in the areas of commercial law and evidence in both England and Australia, explores the principles underlying legal professional privilege and argues that we should be more skeptical of the claims made of the privilege and give more weight to the values underlying the disclosure of evidence. Takes a Commonwealth-wide approach, covering the law of England, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as drawing on relevant principles from European and US law.
