Bruzas v Saxton [2018] EWHC 1619 (Fam)
Legal professional privilege and whistleblowing:
Family law case in which a whistleblower from within a law firm disclosed legally privileged material to the court about the conduct of staff in the law firm and one of the parties. Case referred to the president of the family division of the high court to consider content of documents and whether they could be admissible by one of the parties who was effectively seeking to set aside an agreed settlement of the case. Documents found to be inadmissable as they were legally privileged and did not show a prima facie case of fraud. The judge commented that the material fell “well short of being capable of establishing fraud or iniquity that would justify overriding or ignoring the legal professional privilege”.
