...Former London Solicitors Litigation Association president Graham Huntley, whose firm Signature Litigation is involved in the RBS rights litigation, supports the Law Society’s overall stance.
Huntley says: “It is clear that LPP has become something of an elastic band – at one end we see banks pulling it ever wider to seek to attach legal advice privilege to documents which those institutions are reluctant to admit were prepared with litigation in contemplation; and at the other end we see regulators arguing that LPP should be contracted in scope to enable the regulator to search deeper and wider into the corporate environment for the regulator’s own purposes.”
