Legal privilege in-house counsel rejected again
On 17 September 2007 an interesting EC-judgment was rendered on
the question of whether the communications of in-house counsels
fall under the scope of the legal privilege in competition law
cases. The judgment also discusses the type of internal documents
for which this privilege can be relied on. The outcome of the
judgment will be a guideline in Dutch Competition Law. The judgment
may be important particularly for companies that employ in-house
counsels. Read more about this judgment in a short memorandum
written by Annemieke van der Beek.
