Legal Professional Privilege. In civil and criminal cases, confidential communications passing between a client and his legal adviser need not be given in evidence by the client and, without the client's consent, may not be given in evidence by the legal adviser in a judicial proceeding if made either-(1) to enable the client to obtain, or the adviser to give, legal advice; or(2) with reference to litigation that is actually taking place or was in the contemplation of the client.... the rationale of... legal professional privilege... is not the protection of confidentiality as such, but the additional fact that legal advice is exclusively concerned "with rights and liabilities enforceable in law, i. e. in the ultimate resort by litigation in the courts or in some administrative tribunal. "(Cross, p. 282-283).

Subject field(s)
  • Heraldry
OBS

Cross recercelée: We find the term sarcelly more frequently used, but there are so many varieties of spelling adopted by different authors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, that it is a quetion whether there is one word or two; attempts, however, appear to have been made to distinguish different meanings attached to different modes of spelling. They are as follows, so far as printed works go (manuscript readings would add to the number): cercelée, recercellé, recersile, resarcelée, resarcelled, sarcelée, sarcelly. One writer speaks of cerclée being spelt cercelée and recercelée, and so confused with the sarcelly.

"Sarcelly" is also used in reference to a cross that is voided, i. e. sawed apart.
