English term or phrase: fair game
litigation issues

Avoid “off the record comments”: If you cannot comment on something, simply give your reason(s) for not commenting (i.e.: we do not comment on: proprietary information, performance, forecasts, market share, customer or employee information, litigation issues) and move on. Anything you say will be fair game during and after the interview.
