Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Neither statement is correct. A client seeking a defence to a forgery already committed communicates for a lawful professional purpose, so the communication is protected under section 132 unless the client expressly consents to disclosure. Asking the advocate to use a forged document to obtain property instead furthers an illegal purpose and falls outside that protection.
