    Waiver of Legal Professional Privilege

    Citation: [1991] Sing JLS 158
    This note argues that there is merit in having some notion of implies waiver of legal profession priviledge in terms of promoting fairness of trial and the interest of the administration of justice. Since the Evidence Act rules out the possibility of implied waiver, the desirable objectives of fairness of trial and finality of litigation may have to be achieved by recognising that an advocate has astensible authority to waive the priviledge (although express consent to waiver may be lacking)
