Waiver of legal professional privilege or benefit of duty of confidentiality
492 Waiver of legal professional privilege or benefit of duty of
confidentiality
(1) This section applies if a person signs a document waiving the person’s
legal professional privilege, or the benefit of a duty of confidentiality,
about a matter (the
"waived matter" ) relating to the subject of a complaint or an investigation
matter.
(2) An Australian legal practitioner can not refuse to disclose to
the commissioner or relevant regulatory authority any information about the
waived matter on the grounds of legal professional privilege or the duty of
confidentiality.
(3) However, subject to section 581G , the Australian legal
practitioner may refuse to disclose the information on the grounds that it
might tend to incriminate the practitioner.
