Recognition of Religious Advisor Privilege in Canada's Supreme Court
The House of Lords has recently allowed an appeal by Mr Johnson in R v Warwickshire CC, exparte Johnson (The Times, 16 December 1992). Lord Roskill stated that the phrase 'in the course of any business of his' in s 20(1) means any business of which the defendant is either the owner or in which he has a controlling interest. His Lordship examined Hansard before coming to his conclusion. The other Law Lords agreed.
