When the head of department has made a claim of privilege for documents or information under his control... is this claim conclusive upon the judge?... A decision of the House of Lords in 1942 limits the judge's function to ascertaining whether the claim is made by the proper officer in the proper form. If he decides that it is, the claim is conclusive.(McCormick, p. 234) 1, record 1, English, - claim%20of%20privilege

A sub-agreement does not operate as an assignment of the head agreement but is a separate and independent contract, and, thus, a sub-purchaser has no direct claim against the head-vendor and he is thus free to impose such terms as he sees fit as consideration for a transfer directly from himself to the sub-purchaser.(Di Castri, 2nd ed. 1976, p. 413) 1, record 2, English, - sub%2Dagreement

The fact, "simpliciter", that the parties to an instrument are described as "assignor" and "assignee" does not make the instrument, which in substance is a sub-agreement of sale, an assignment. There is no privity of contract between the head-vendor and a sub-purchaser. A sub-agreement does not operate as an assignment of the head agreement but is a separate and independent contract, and, thus, a sub-purchaser has no direct claim against the head-vendor and he is thus free to impose such terms as he sees fit as consideration for a transfer directly from himself to the sub-purchaser.(Di Castri, 2nd ed., 1975, p. 413) 1, record 3, English, - sub%2Dagreement%20of%20sale
