Joe hired Julie, a lawyer, to defend him on assault charges.  At their first meeting he told her the details concerning his involvement in the assault.  After a dispute between Joe and Julie in relation to legal fees, Joe decided to retain a new lawyer.  The police attended at Julie’s office to ask her questions concerning what Joe told her about the assault.  In these circumstances
a. the solicitor/client privilege does not allow Julie to reveal any communications she had with Joe without his approval.
b. given that the solicitor/client relationship has ended, Julie is at liberty to disclose the information.
c. the solicitor/client privilege does not extend to admissions by clients of wrongdoing so communications must be disclosed.
d. Julie is at liberty to disclose any information in relation to the dispute with Joe over fees but not in relation to communications about the assault.
e. the Canada Evidence Act permits Julie to disclose any information once the retainer has ended.
