Welcome to the August edition of Clayton Utz Litigation & Dispute Resolution Insights, in which we'll look at three important developments in privilege.
First, we'll investigate the true meaning of "without prejudice". Then, we'll see that the distinction between advice and litigation privilege is alive and well in commissions of inquiry. Finally, we'll see when a defence can waive your privilege.
We'll also look at the introduction of proportionate liability - how should you prepare? Lastly, we'll see why private enforcement actions against cartels could be the next big thing.
