In response to anon 11.42 - legal privilege must extend to crime, but after the event. There is a world of difference between advising a criminal client after the alleged crime, and getting involved in active perjury.

Can I pose this question? Your client is on bail for serious sex offences and tells you that he plans to kidnap and kill a child that night. Should he be able to trust you to keep quiet about it?

Very few of these principles are absolutes.
