Onder 6.1.3 Hoge Raad 12 maart 2024

Een alinea uit Hoge Raad 12 maart 2024, ECLI:NL:HR:2024:375.

“In this connection and in agreement with the considerations of the Supreme Court in its judgment of 12 January 1999 , the Court considers that it is clearly in the general interest that any person who wishes to consult a lawyer should be free to do so under conditions which favour full and uninhibited discussion. It is for this reason that the lawyer-client relationship is, in principle, privileged (see Foxley v. the United Kingdom, no. 33274/96, § 43, 20 June 2000). The suggestion that information conveyed by or to a lawyer in the latter's professional capacity is susceptible to interception, particularly by criminal investigation authorities who may have a direct interest in obtaining such information, is not in keeping with the principles of confidentiality and professional privilege attaching to relations between a lawyer and his or her clients. It is for this reason that, in principle, lawyers have in their professional contacts with clients a reasonable expectation of protection and respect for their professional privacy.
