Crime Code 2Answer 1Generally, a lawyer and client maintain a fiduciary or confidential relationship between each other as stated in decision of Descôteaux v. Mierzwinski [1982] 1 SCR 860 where the Court recognise the communication of client and solicitor as confidential and fundamental right. However the response to the problem deals with an exception of the privilege of solicitor client that is(1) Where nature of lawful guidance is not pursued;(2) Where no intentions to make any confidential communication;(3) Communication is in nature of fostering any illegitimate conduct of client (Lefstein, 2007). Answer 2The primary object of the privilege communication is to build a ‘privacy area’ in order to preserve confidentiality without accusatorial meddling in litigation and without distress of early discovery of privileged communication. In support of response to the problem, the court is not bound to maintain the privileged communication in any circumstances (Griffiths, 2014). Answer 3 (a)The general rule of section 4(3) of the Canada Evidence Act state that that no spouse communication can be obliged to testify in any criminal matter as ruled under R. v. Schell (2004), 188 C.C.C. (3d) 254, 20 C.R. (6th) 1 (Alta. C.A.)., where the Court held that spousal privileged communication deals with a vital principle of the “protection of marital harmony”. Answer 3 (b)It is a fundamental principle that no spousal privileged communication is protected by the court unless it is declared or asserted. Such spousal privileged communication completely depends on the assertion of the spouse. In order to establish the principle of the spousal privileged, the counselor of spouse has to declare a right of spousal immunity and must distinguish between the scope of spousal testimonial privileged and spousal privilege. (Posner, 2008)
