LEGAL PRIVILEGE

In-house legal privilege recognised under Belgian Competition Law

The issue of legal privilege of in-house lawyers regarding EC Competition law has been widely debated for years. In 1982, the European Court of Justice decided that legal privilege only applies to communications with "outside lawyers", refusing to recognise any legal priviege for in-house lawyers and their communications with their clients.

ECLA considers this situation most unsatisfactory and believes that for many reasons it should be readdressed, including with regard to the recently adopted modernisation of the application of Articles 81 & 82 of the EU Treaty.

More information on ECLA's arguments and facts can be found in the following documents:
