Authored by Bankim Thanki QC, who appeared in the Three Rivers cases, and a team from Fountain Court chambers, it provides detailed coverage of the nature of privilege, how it arises, how it is lost, and its limits. Topics covered include legal advice privilege, litigation privilege, loss of privilege, joint and common interest privilege, without prejudice privilege, and the privilege against self-incrimination.
