It was further observed that, \u201cAlthough litigation privilege is distinguishable from solicitor-client privilege, it is nevertheless a class privilege and gives rise to a presumption of inadmissibility for a class of communications, namely those whose dominant purpose is preparation for litigation. Thus, any document that meets the conditions for the application of litigation privilege will be protected by immunity from disclosure unless the case is one to which one of the exceptions to that privilege applies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the instant case, the appellant, an assistant syndic of the Chambre de l\u2019assurance de dommages asked the respondent to send her a complete copy of its claim file with respect to one of its insured. The syndic based this request on Section 337 of the Act Respecting the Distribution of Financial Products and Services (ADFPS). However the insurer expressed its inability to present certain documents, citing that they were either covered by solicitor- client privilege or by litigation- privilege. The appellant contended that the aforesaid provision is sufficient to lift the privilege, because it created an obligation to produce \u2018any document\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perusing a plethora of case laws on the development of law of litigation privilege in Canada, the Court referred to its previous decision in <em>Blank<\/em> v. <em>Canada (Minister of Justice)<\/em>,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForNewsLink\/2006_SCC_OnLine_Can_SC_39\"> 2006 SCC OnLine Can SC 39 <\/a>: 2006 SCC 39, to highlight the present position vis-\u00e0-vis litigation privilege, which states that solicitor-client privilege and litigation privilege are distinct. However that Court observed that, \u201clitigation privilege is subject to clearly defined exceptions, not to a case-by-case balancing test. In the context of privileges, the exercise of balancing competing interests is associated with case-by-case privileges, not class privileges. The exceptions that apply to solicitor-client privilege are all applicable to litigation privilege. These include the exceptions relating to public safety, to the innocence of the accused and to criminal communications.\u201d It was further stated that litigation privilege can be asserted against third parties, including third party investigators who have a duty of confidentiality, therefore the insurer can very well assert the litigation privilege against the syndic, which cannot be lifted by Section 337 of ADFPS.
