Privilege and Waiver II
‘Without Prejudice’ Privilege
  

January 11, 2021

 

5G Technology in India  

In Part I of our series on ‘Privilege and Waiver’, we explored the scope of attorney-client privilege in India, with references to the jurisprudence in the UK, Singapore and US.

We now bring to you Part II of our series on ‘Privilege and Waiver’ where the Internal Investigations and White Collar Defence Practice Group at NDA explore another key aspect of legal privilege, i.e., the ‘without prejudice’ rule.

Business communications are often titled with the phrase “Without Prejudice”. While the phrase seemingly advances a protection to the author of a letter or a document, it is incorrect to assume that the phrase always provides a blanket protection against any and all liabilities, calling for certain exceptions to this rule. Courts across many jurisdictions have interpreted the phrase with an aim to establish a legal framework for conduct of negotiations in the business world.

In Part II of the series, we explore the “Without Prejudice” Rule, its application and waiver. The detailed research paper is available here.
