Mont. Code Ann. § 25-40-117

Waiver and preclusion of privilege

Known as the Uniform Collaborative Law Act

The act spans §§ 25–25 (21 sections).

En

(1) A privilege under 25-40-116 may be waived in a record or orally during a proceeding if it is expressly waived by all parties and, in the case of the privilege of a nonparty participant, it is also expressly waived by the nonparty participant.

(2) A person that makes a disclosure or representation about a collaborative law communication that prejudices another person in a proceeding may not assert a privilege under 25-40-116, but this preclusion applies only to the extent necessary for the person prejudiced to respond to the disclosure or representation.
