Neusteter V. District Court

The petitioners, defendants in the action below, seek relief under C.A.R. 21 to prevent the Denver District Court from enforcing an order compelling testimony and the production of documents allegedly falling within the accountant-client privilege, section 13-90-107(1)(f), C.R.S. 1973. Recognizing that the disclosure of privileged information might cause irreparable harm to the defendants, we issued a rule to show cause why a writ should not be issued. We now hold that the communications are not privileged in the context of this litigation, and discharge the rule.
