Details | Absolute privilege is a special advantage, immunity, permission, right, or benefit granted to or enjoyed by an individual, class, or caste. It is a very broad and powerful defence. It relates to various kinds of official communications, such as talks between high public officials, speeches in Parliament, and any communications exchanged during court cases by any participant. To qualify for absolute privilege, the communication must have been made in the context of the official's function and confidential relationship. |
