Federal Court decision in Trevor Kennedy legal privilege proceedings

The Federal Court decision in Trevor Kennedy legal privilege proceedings
determined that the dominant purpose of the notes were not made for obtaining legal advice, and therefore not covered by legal professional privilege.

Justice Gyles found that Mr Kennedy did not establish that the dominant purpose for making the notes was to obtain legal advice, nor did he establish that any legal advice that might have been related to the notes was in connection with the administration of justice or proper function of the legal system in Australia. Justice Gyles noted that any such advice would have related to taking advantage of Swiss laws in order to keep assets and transactions secret from Australian authorities.
