Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 23.16
Attorney-Client Privilege
ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE
During the trial, you have heard witnesses decline to answer because of the
attorney-client privilege. You should know that it is perfectly proper for any witness
to invoke the attorney-client privilege while testifying, and you should not draw any
conclusion adverse to either party simply because a witness has invoked the
privilege. Nor should you speculate on what the witness might have testified if the
privilege had not been raised. Confine your deliberations to the testimony that you
have heard and to the documents in evidence.
