3125 An exception to the litigation privilege for a communication made in furtherance of an act of intentional destruction or alteration of physical evidence applies only when the act is undertaken for the purpose of depriving a party to litigation of the right to use the evidence, and since inserting the word "none" in a blank space marked "limits" in a consent for the release of medical information would not have that effect, it does not negate application of the litigation privilege.CitationLABORDE v ARONSON (Custody Evaluation) 92 CA4 459 [See: CivC 47; CCP 128.7; Gootee v Lightner 224 CA3 587; Silberg v Anderson 50 C3 205]
