The Court of Appeal's recent decision in The Civil Aviation Authority v The Queen on the application of Jet2.com Ltd [2020] EWCA Civ 35 found that legal advice privilege (LAP) is subject to a “dominant purpose” test, and also considered how LAP applies in the context of multi-addressee emails which include both lawyers and non-lawyers as recipients.
