Practice question
A document is provisionally received subject to later proof of relevance. That connection is established, but a distinct, properly raised privilege exclusion still applies. May the court disregard privilege merely because the relevance condition was met?
- Yes, one condition overrides every exclusion.
- No; completing the identified relevance connection does not eliminate a separate valid legal exclusion.
- Yes, conditional admission waives everyone’s rights.
- No; relevance itself is forbidden.
- Yes, the opponent must now consent to every use.
