The Gazette 1958-61

" The question whether the court should inspect the documents is one which is a matter for the discretion of the court, and primarily for the judge of first instance. Each case must depend on its own circumstances, but if, looking at the affidavit, the court finds that the claim to privilege is formally correct, and that the documents in respect of which it is made are sufficiently identified and are such that, prima facie, the claim to privilege would appear to be properly made in respect of them, then, in my judgment, the court should, generally speaking, accept the affidavit as sufficiently justifying the claim without going further and inspecting the documents." These documents did come into existence for the purpose of being put before the solicitor, and for the purpose of being used not necessarily in existing litigation, but in anticipated litigation. I think that in these days the British Transport Commission are entitled to say that, whenever a man is fatally injured in the course of his work on the railway line, there is at least a possibility that litigation will ensue. In those circumstances, there is no material on which I can come to the conclusion that there is any ground for challenging the correctness or conclusiveness of the affidavit, and I feel constrained to hold that the claim for privilege has been established, and this appeal must, therefore, be dismissed.
