LIBRARY HEADING

 

 

 

Judge:             The Honourable Justice Douglas C. Campbell

 

Heard:                        May 31, 2011 in Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

 

Summary:                  The parties had proceedings in both Florida and Nova Scotia with respect to their marriage breakdown. The Nova Scotia court had not decided whether to accept jurisdiction. Before addressing jurisdiction, it was necessary to determine whether certain documents taken from a computer were inadmissible and protected by solicitor/client privilege. The Florida court had determined that the documents were admissible and that solicitor/client privilege had been waived or that the facts give rise to an exception to the privilege.

 

 

Issue:                          Whether the doctrine of res judicata applies thereby requiring this court to adopt the decision in the Florida court regarding admissibility.

 

Result:                        Held. Res judicata does not apply in this case.
