   ...substance of the communication in evidence. At that point an abuse of the privilege exists. The claimant cannot have the benefit of reliance upon the substance of the advice and still seek to shield that advice from disclosure to the other side. To permit this would give rise to unfairness in the required sense, in that the party’s conduct would be offensive to the trial process. [34] Having made those observations, Panckhurst J held that the material in the memorandum was not r...

   ...were, fraudulently charged to Eden Group. [32] This foregoing evidence, very much summarised, establishes the following. [33] There was activity on the parts of the first three respondents that, while still employed by Eden Group, went further than permitted in preparing to engage in business competition with the applicant. That evidence arguably supports the applicant’s contention that the three individual ex-employees breached their implied obligations to their employer whilst...

   ...addressed the actions he took when drafting the statement of claim. Mr [JK] says that deceit could never properly be alleged at any stage of the proceedings because there has to be probative evidence of actual fraud, not a mere suspicion of fraud to permit an allegation of deceit to be properly pleaded. (b) As the proceedings continued it became apparent that there was no evidence to allege fraud. In particular: (i) Before Mr [SY] issued the proceedings, he was aware that the cont...

   ...cannot because it refers to allegations that were resolved in the full and final settlement agreement. The argument appears to me to be circular. It is difficult to see how Mr Lumsden can pursue an action based on an asserted breach unless he is permitted to refer to the matters which he says were the subject of a broken settlement. Section 149(4) makes it plain that a person who breaches an agreed term 26 Roy v Board of Trustees...
