Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Saskatchewan (Government Insurance) (Re), 2017 CanLII 4568 (SK IPC):
Federal Court of Appeal decision Stevens v. Canada (Prime Minister), (1998) 1998 CanLII 9075 (FCA), 4 FCR 89 recognizes that invoices of lawyers constitute communications for the purpose of giving advice and solicitor-client privilege applies. I am satisfied that the second part of the test is met.
