A quick definition of privileged communication:

Privileged communication: A type of confidential communication that is protected by law and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the person who made the communication. This means that certain professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, and therapists, cannot be forced to reveal information that their clients or patients have shared with them in confidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Privileged communication refers to a type of communication that is protected by law and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the person who made the communication. This means that the person who received the communication cannot be forced to testify about it in court or share it with others.

For example, a doctor-patient relationship is considered privileged communication. This means that anything a patient tells their doctor during a medical appointment is confidential and cannot be shared with anyone else without the patient's permission. Similarly, a lawyer-client relationship is also privileged communication, meaning that anything a client tells their lawyer is confidential and cannot be shared with others.

These examples illustrate how privileged communication is an important aspect of maintaining trust and confidentiality in certain professional relationships. It allows individuals to feel comfortable sharing sensitive information without fear of it being used against them.
