The Civil Discovery Act permits a party to a civil action to obtain discovery, as specified, by inspecting documents, tangible things, and land or other property in the possession of any other party to the action. The act provides for procedures that must be followed when the responding party objects to part or all of an inspection demand. This bill would require the responding party, when that party objects to a demand on the basis of privilege or work product, to provide sufficient factual information in its response for other parties to evaluate the merits of that claim, including, if necessary, a privilege log. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to codify the concept of a privilege log as that term is used in California case law.
