§ 37402. Protected Material of Information.

COL1172018

(a) In General. A civil investigative demand issued under §

37401 may not require the production of any documentary

material, the submission of any answers to written

interrogatories, or the giving of any oral testimony if such

material, answers, or testimony would be protected from

disclosure under:

(1) the standards applicable to subpoenas or subpoenas

duces tecum issued by a court of the Unified Judiciary of

Guam to aid in a grand jury investigation; or

(2) the standards applicable to discovery requests

under Guam law, to the extent that the application of such

standards to any such demand is appropriate and consistent

with the provisions and purposes of this Article.

(b) Effect on Other Orders, Rules, and Laws. Any such

demand which is an express demand for any product of

discovery supersedes any inconsistent order, rule, or provision of

law (other than this Section) preventing or restraining disclosure

of such product of discovery to any person. Disclosure of any

product of discovery pursuant to any such express demand does

not constitute a waiver of any right or privilege which the person

making such disclosure may be entitled to invoke to resist

discovery of trial preparation materials.
