Clause 153
Self-incrimination and savings for advocates and solicitors
(1)
A person is not excused from disclosing information to the Authority or, as the case may be, an investigator under Subdivision (2), pursuant to a requirement made of him under any provision of this Division on the ground that the disclosure of the information may incriminate him, but where the person claims, before making the statement, that the statement may incriminate him, that statement —
shall not be admissible in evidence against him in criminal proceedings other than proceedings under this section; but(b)shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be admissible in evidence in civil proceedings under Part XII.
(2)
Nothing in this Subdivision shall compel an advocate and solicitor to disclose or produce a privileged communication, or a document or other material containing a privileged communication, made by or to him in that capacity or otherwise the taking of any such document or other material which is in his possession.
(3)
If an advocate and solicitor refuses to disclose the information or produce the document or other material, he shall nevertheless be obliged to give the name and address of the person (if he knows them) to whom or by or on behalf of whom that communication was made.
