A California appellate court has ruled that inadvertent disclosure of documents containing attorney-client communications in response to a Public Records Act request does not result in a waiver of the privilege.Newark Unified School District v. Superior Court, No. A142963 (1st Dist. Ct. App., August 1, 2015).
