Welcome to the August edition of Clayton Utz LDR Insights. In this edition we look at a major development in legal professional privilege and its implications for communications between a solicitor or client and a third party.
We'll also look at the growing law of privacy, recent changes to the Trade Practices Act, and why a mortgagee couldn't enforce an unconscionable mortgage.
