Description

"This book is the sequel of the famous Edward report on professional secrecy, confidentiality and legal professional privilege in Europe in 1976, updated in 2003. The civil law concept of the secret professionnel is explained by Mr. Paul Martens, President of the Belgian Constitutional Court, and the concept of legal privilege by Mr. Richard Plender, Judge at the High Court in London. Reports on the case law of the Strasbourg and Luxembourg Courts were drafted by Mr Dean Spielmann and Mr. Nicholas Forwood, judges at the European Court of Human Rights and the General Court of the European Union respectively. Finally, twenty national reports review the implications of legal privilege in criminal, tax and competition law"--Provided by publisher.
