519	66	XXI. Offensive use of privilege / withholding relevant information	Court erred by denying motion to compel under offensive use doctrine (Ginsberg v. Fifth Court of Appeals). Pohl cannot sue Kassab claiming theft of trade secrets while claiming privilege to deny access to discovery on limitations, illegality, ownership. Court should have found privilege waived between Pohl and Shepherd regarding when misappropriation discovered, secrecy efforts, and barratry. Pohl also cannot claim privilege for billing records while seeking attorney fee damages (In re Nat'l Lloyds, In re Beirne). Redacted invoices should have been excluded (Remington Arms). Error harmful — jury relied on redacted records for attorney fee award.
