Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The treatment of inadvertently disclosed documents will depend on the individual jurisdiction. There are three judicial views on handling the inadvertent disclosure of confidential and privileged information: (1) automatic waiver; (2) no waiver; and (3) balancing test. Automatic waiver holds that once the confidentiality is breached, the privilege is automatically waived. No waiver holds that the privileged is destroyed only when a client makes a knowing and voluntary waiver of the privilege. Balancing test looks at several factors, including: (1) the nature of the methods taken to protect the information; (2) the efforts made to correct the error; (3) the extent of the disclosure; and (4) fairness.
