United States First Circuit

Reversing a district court decision in a suit relating to a corporate merger in which a corporate official refused to answer questions about documents in a deposition on account of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection, the former of which was rejected and the latter granted because attorney-client privilege, if any, was waived when the documents were disclosed to the plaintiff and the work-product theory advanced was significantly different from the caselaw cited in its support.
