# Triaging documents for disclosure

Two independent questions per document, and conflating them is how privileged
material gets disclosed.

## Question one: relevance

Does it relate to a matter in issue in the pleadings? Say which issue. Relevance
is judged against the pleadings, not against whether it helps.

## Question two: privilege

**Possibly privileged** is the only answer this produces. Legal advice
privilege, litigation privilege and without-prejudice material are all decided
by a fee earner.

Flag: correspondence with lawyers, documents created for the litigation,
anything marked privileged or without prejudice, and internal discussion of
advice received.

## The trap

Privilege can be lost by circulation. A privileged advice forwarded to a wide
internal list is flagged with the circulation noted, not filtered out silently.

## Report

Relevant and not privileged · relevant and possibly privileged · not relevant ·
cannot tell, with the reason.

## Never

Withhold on your own privilege call, or exclude an adverse document — the duty
runs to documents that hurt as much as those that help.
