 CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL Civil Law
Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 473(b)'s mandatory provision is only mandatory if the trial court does not find that the default or dismissal was not caused by the attorney's mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or neglect. A party's disclosure of the existence of privileged communications, but not the content of the communications, does not waive the privilege.

Family Law he purpose of Family Code Sec. 3025.5(a) is to protect the privacy of the child and to encourage candor on the part of those participating in the evaluation. Statements made to the evaluator and the evaluator's conclusions about parental abuse and the nature of the relationship between parent and child are well within the protection of the statute. While Sec. 3025.5 carries no penalty for its violation, Sec. 3111 protects both the written evaluator report and the information in the report. An attorney can violate Sec. 3111 by intentionally asking questions that disclosed highly personal information about the child and her family. The litigation privilege does not apply to sanctions imposed by the trial court.
