Article 5. PRIVILEGES

At present, each rule in Guide to New York Evidence (GNYE) article 5 (Privileges), except for Parent-Child privilege, includes verbatim a section in CPLR article 45.

To facilitate conformity with the CPLR sections, the heading of each section in this article is the same as the heading in the applicable CPLR section; the format respecting subdivisions and paragraphs is the same as in the applicable CPLR section; and the GNYE section number includes the last two numbers of the applicable CPLR article 45 section; e.g. “CPLR 4502 Spouse” is “GNYE rule 5.02 Spouse.”
