Legal professional privilege remains protected when a party gives evidence, unless counsel is questioned on otherwise protected matters.

Legal professional privilege is not waived merely because a party gives evidence voluntarily or otherwise. Giving evidence does not constitute consent to disclosure of protected matters. Where a party calls a barrister, pleader, attorney or vakil as a witness, consent is implied only to the extent that the party questions the legal professional about matters which would otherwise remain protected from disclosure.
