How have courts treated privileged and confidential documents?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cooke v. Superior Court, 147 Cal.Rptr. 915, 83 Cal.App.3d 582 (Cal. App. 1978):
We turn then to the question of whether the trial court acted within its jurisdiction in finding that the eight documents now involved were privileged and confidential. As did the trial court, we must approach that issue without inspection of the documents themselves, under the compulsion of subdivision (a) of section 915 of the Evidence Code. (See Carlton v. Superior Court (1968) 261 Cal.App.2d 282, 292-293, 67 Cal.Rptr. 568.)
