Evidence Act, 1975 (NRCD 323)

Section 89 - Waiver

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person who would otherwise have the privilege to refuse to disclose or to prevent any other person from disclosing a particular matter does not have a privilege, if that person or any other person while the holder of the privilege has voluntarily disclosed or consented to the disclosure of a significant part of that matter.

(2) A disclosure of a privileged matter where the disclosure itself is a privileged communication does not affect the right of a person to claim the privilege.

(3) A waiver of a joint privilege to refuse to disclose or to prevent any other person from disclosing a particular matter by a holder of the joint privilege does not affect the right of any other holder to claim the privilege.
