Nationwide Mut. Ins. Fire Co. v. Hess
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1005 (Fla. 5th DCA May 10, 2002)
In order to meet the burden of establishing that particular documents are protected under the work product privilege or attorney-client privilege, the specific documents should be included in a privilege log. Furthermore, courts should not request disclosure of privileged information without first conducting an in-camera inspection. In this case, a privileged log was not presented and the claimed privileged information pertained to an interrogatory question requesting all names and addresses of other PIP claimants who were advised that a healthcare provider must arbitrate directly with the plaintiff. The court did not find that the information requested was pertinent to the present case.
