What is solicitor-client privilege for each of the documents set out above?

Yukon, Canada


The following excerpt is from Petrie v. AIG Insurance Company of Canada, 2019 YKSC 45 (CanLII):

These reasons focus on what I find to be solicitor-client privilege for each of the documents set out above, despite the stamp of litigation privilege in sub-paragraphs 5 and 6 above. I concluded that the test for litigation privilege addressed in Fred v. Westfair Food Ltd., 2003 YKSC 39, requiring affidavit evidence of litigation in reasonable prospect and dominant purpose was not required.
