Question 3

Who "owns" the right of privileged communication?

Accepted Answer

The right of privileged communication is typically "owned" or held by the client or patient in a professional relationship. This legal concept is designed to protect the confidentiality of communications between two parties, where one party is a professional, such as a lawyer, doctor, therapist, or clergy member, and the other is their client or patient.

In the context of attorney-client privilege, for example, the client holds the privilege. This means that the client has the right to prevent the attorney from disclosing any confidential communications related to legal advice. The attorney is bound by this privilege and cannot reveal the information without the client's consent, except under certain rare circumstances defined by law.

Similarly, in the medical field, doctor-patient privilege ensures that a patient's medical information is kept confidential and cannot be disclosed by the healthcare provider without the patient's permission, again with certain exceptions such as when there is a risk of harm to the patient or others.

The purpose of privileged communication is to encourage open and honest communication between the professional and the client, allowing the client to seek advice, treatment, or counsel without fear that their private information will be exposed.

It is important to note that the specifics of privileged communication can vary by jurisdiction and by the type of professional relationship. Additionally, there are exceptions to the privilege, and it can be waived by the holder of the privilege, either intentionally or inadvertently, depending on the circumstances.
