Re: A Non - Lawyer Writes...

In front of this judge in the UK courts the prosecutors would be in contempt if they have this material, or perhaps even if they attempted to access the defences client communications. I also think they'd likely be disbarred.

Not sure that's true, but then also not a lawyer. There is no duty of confidentiality for the prosecutor, and there is a duty to truth. But that's perhaps the UK, where we don't have the 'poison tree' doctrine the US does. And this is a Spanish EIO against a Spanish firm contracted to Ecuador operating in London and the rights & privileges of an Australian asylum seeker/refugee.

So I'm not suprised the EIO took a while to process..
