Regulation 16 Savings for certain privileges
Nothing in Part 2 of these Regulations is to be taken as requiring any person—
(a)
to produce any records if that person would be entitled to refuse to produce those records in any proceedings in any court on the grounds that they are the subject of legal professional privilege or, in Scotland, a claim of confidential communications, or as authorising any person to take possession of any records which are in the possession of a person who would be so entitled; or
(b)
to answer any question or give any information if to do so would incriminate that person or that person’s spouse or civil partner.
