Hydraflow test

Read a random definition: hostile embargo

A quick definition of Hydraflow test:

A Hydraflow test is a way for a court to decide if accidentally sharing a private document means that the person who shared it has given up their right to keep it private. The court looks at how careful the person was to keep the document private, how many times it was shared, how much of it was shared, how quickly they tried to fix the mistake, and if it would be fair to let them take the document back. It's also called the middle-of-the-road test.

A more thorough explanation:

The Hydraflow test is a principle used to determine whether an inadvertent disclosure of a privileged document is a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. This test considers several factors to determine the reasonableness of the precautions taken to prevent the disclosure and whether justice would be best served by allowing the disclosing party to retrieve the document.

Some of the factors considered in the Hydraflow test include:

  • The reasonableness of the precautions taken to prevent the inadvertent disclosure
  • The number of disclosures involved
  • The extent of the disclosure
  • The promptness of any efforts to remedy the disclosure

For example, if a lawyer accidentally sends an email containing privileged information to the wrong recipient, the Hydraflow test would consider whether the lawyer took reasonable precautions to prevent this from happening, such as double-checking the recipient's email address. It would also consider the extent of the disclosure, such as whether the entire email or just a portion of it contained privileged information.

The Hydraflow test is often used in legal cases to determine whether an inadvertent disclosure of privileged information should be considered a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
