1575 REVIEW DENIED Communications made to attorneys and fellow employees by a person serving as liaison between them might be subject to the attorney-client privilege, but the privilege does not prevent discovery of matters of which the liaison person has personal knowledge, merely because they are referenced in those communications; the attorney-client privilege does not apply to communications with an attorney who was retained to help the client commit fraud or to defraud the court.CitationSTATE FARM v SUPERIOR COURT (Fraud Exception) 54 CA4 625 [See: BP Alaska v Superior Court 199 CA3 1240; Aerojet-General v Transport 18 CA4 996, T/AT 11/93]
