Three Rivers No. 5: Difference between revisions

{{cite|Three Rivers District Council|Bank of England (No. 5)|2003|EWHC|2565}} is a controversial decision of the UK Court of Appeal about {{t|legal privilege}}. It has been criticised as creating a risk of restricting the "client" to some limited group of employees, so that communications or documents prepared by anyone else in the organisation would not be privileged, unless prepared for the purposes of contemplated litigation. That is because, unlike [[litigation privilege]], [[legal advice privilege]] does not apply to communications with third parties; it only covers lawyer-client communications.
