Chubb & Son v. Super. Ct.
Annotate this CaseChubb petitioned for a writ of mandate, contending that the trial court's order to produce documents improperly impinged on the attorney-client privilege and the attorney duty to maintain client confidences. The court held that, for the limited purposes ordered by the trial court, the trial court did not err in permitting the parties to disclose the documents at issue to their respective attorneys in this case. Based on the record, there was no meaningful distinction between an allegation of privilege as to a party's information and an allegation of privilege as to a third party's information. Accordingly, the court denied the petition.
