Heather Worley, Petitioner v. Central Florida Young Men’s Christian Ass’n, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the attorney‑client privilege bars discovery of whether an attorney referred a plaintiff to a treating physician, quashing the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision and approving the Second District Court of Appeal’s ruling. The Court also found the trial court’s supplemental discovery order unduly burdensome. A dissent argued the referral question is discoverable and not privileged.
