Law/Patents - Law (general) / letter to a lawyer | | English term or phrase: attract privilege | this is from the letter of a lawyer to instruct his client and reads as follows:
Greatest care should be taken in the creation of new documents so as to avoid creating potentially damaging material that will not *attract privilege and that will be discoverable in due course*.
Der ungefähre Sinn ist mir klar: Sein Mandant soll keinen weiteren Schaden anrichten, indem er neue Dokumente ausfertigt, um der Gegenseite nicht in die Hände zu spielen, aber as meint er genau mit dem letzten Teil? |

In law, discovery is the pre-trial phase in a lawsuit in which each party through the law of civil procedure can request documents and other evidence from other parties or can compel the production of evidence by using a subpoena or through other discovery devices, such as requests for production and depositions. In American law, discovery is wide-ranging and can involve any material which is relevant to the case ***excepting information which is privileged or information which is the work product of the other side. [...] anything legally privileged (Attorney-client, Doctor-patient, etc) is generally off-limits. ***
