(c) Clause 14 is acceptable subject
to omission of the words "his
spouse,
parents or children" from sub-clauses
sub
(a) (i) and (iii). Your Attorney-General
saw no objection to this omission.
(a) Clause 15(iv) Your Attorney-General
agreed that the intention of this sub-
clause is that so far as possible
solicitors should not be
required to divulge privileged
information, but as worded at
present the sub-clause would
not cover information given
to a solicitor for the purpose
of providing legal advice for
his client unassociated with
any legal proceedings, and in
this respect it differs from
English law. Your Attorney-
General accordingly agreed to
prepare amendments for your
consideration which would have
Juil
the effect of affording the same
protection as in English law.
Subject to above amendments and...
in particular to satisfactory resolution
of the point at (b), way is now clear
for publication of Bill prior to the
introduction into Legislative Council.
