• finding assertion that decision was based in part on legal advice was not sufficient and stating, “It is not the decision itself that is privileged but the confidential communications to and from the attorney and client that resulted in that decision.”
• “[w]here a lawyer mixes legal and business advice the communication is not privileged unless ‘the communication is designed to meet problems which can fairly be characterized as predominantly legal’ ”
• the attorney-client privilege “is confined within its narrowest possible limits”
• \The fact that the submissions exclusively contain technical data is not controlling.\
