Merritt v. Superior Court

In Merritt v. Superior Court (1970) 9 Cal.App.3d 721, the court determined that an attorney's correspondence and discussions involved in the preparation of his client's actions came within the conditional portion of the attorney's work-product privilege and that, under the circumstances presented, a denial of disclosure to the adverse party seeking disclosure would result in an injustice to such adverse party. Hence, the claim of privilege was denied.
