Description
The plaintiff, Ione Susan Whetstone, seeks reversal of a trial court order dismissing with prejudice her sexual harassment suit against her former employer and a fellow employee. We are asked to decide whether the trial court was correct when it concluded that the plaintiff could not rely on the attorney/client privilege in order to prevent an in camera inspection of a taped communication made by her to her former attorney. The trial court ruled that a sufficient inference had been created that this communication related to the furtherance of a contemplated fraud so as to defeat the privilege and render an in camera review appropriate. We affirm as to the dismissal, but reverse as to the award of fees to defendants.
