1Opinion of the Court

BERNSTEIN, J.,

By orders dated May 4 and May 10,2010, this court ruled upon 399 claims of privilege by defendant Preferred Unlimited based upon the attorney-client and work-product privileges. Three hundred thirty-nine claims of privilege were denied. Sixty claims of privilege were affirmed. Because the appropriate enforcement of the societal value incorporated into privilege represents protections of the essential values of our democracy and material once disclosed forever ceases to be confidential, this opinion explaining these rulings is issued.
