ARTICLE V. PRIVILEGES  

  

KRE 509 WAIVER OF PRIVILEGE BY VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE

     A person upon whom these rules confer a privilege against disclosure waives the privilege if he or his predecessor while holder of the privilege voluntarily discloses or consents to disclosure of any significant part of the privilege matter. This rule does not apply if the disclosure itself is privileged. Disclosure of communications for the purpose of receiving third-party payment for professional services does not waive any privilege with respect to such communications.

[1992 c 324, sec 34, eff. 7-1-92; 1990 c 88, sec 31]
