A legal right or duty not to allow the other side to see certain documents — most commonly legal professional privilege (communications with a lawyer) or other protected interests. Where a third party claims this right, the documents go into Category B and the court may be asked to decide whether inspection should still be provided.
In Plain English
A legal rule that allows you to keep certain documents private, like emails between you and your lawyer. You do not have to show these to the other side if they are protected by 'legal privilege'.
