The following excerpt is from Twyford v. Twyford, 134 Cal.Rptr. 145, 63 Cal.App.3d 916 (Cal. App. 1976):
Finally, we note that ". . . doubts are to be resolved in favor of relevancy and pertinency; that is to say, the matter to which the privilege does not extend must be so palpably wanting in relation to the subject matter of the controversy that there can be no reasonable doubt of its impropriety." (Thornton v. Rhoden, supra, 245 Cal.App.2d at p. 93, 53 Cal.Rptr. at p. 716.)
