Is there any case law where a defendant's personal objection to the disclosure of confidential client information was overruled?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Clark, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 554, 3 Cal.4th 41, 833 P.2d 561 (Cal. 1992):

Defendant contends the court erred in admitting this evidence over his personal objection. He claims there was a violation of both the psychotherapist-patient privilege and the attorney-client privilege. He argues the [3 Cal.4th 160] error was prejudicial because the jury learned damaging information about him. We note first that defendant only objected on the basis of the psychotherapist-patient privilege, not the attorney-client privilege. The latter claim was therefore waived. (Evid.Code 353, subd. (a); People v. Green, supra, 27 Cal.3d at 2, fn. 8, 164 Cal.Rptr. 1, 609 P.2d 468.)
