Allied Artists Picture Corporation v. Max L. Raab Productions

Appellant shall recover of respondent $30 costs and disbursements of this appeal. The two interoffice memoranda prepared by plaintiff's former resident counsel and vice-president were legal in nature, in effect, constituting analysis and advice by an attorney to his client. Accordingly, plaintiff has properly invoked the attorney-client privilege (CPLR 3101, subds. [b], [c], [d]). Moreover, the memoranda do not constitute ""evidence material and necessary"" to the defense of this action (CPLR 3101, subd. [a]).
