Judge rules INM chairman Leslie Buckley entitled to privilege over 10 documents

The president of the High Court has ruled that Leslie Buckley, who is to step down shortly as chairman of Independent News and Media, is entitled to privilege over 10 documents concerning the preparation of his response to the State corporate enforcer’s investigation of a whistleblower complaint, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly was given the documents in a sealed envelope last month and asked to read them to consider the privilege claim.
