      Question

      Section 125 protects whom from disclosing information

      obtained during professional duties? 
      A Clerks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Police Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Magistrates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Interpreters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Civil servants Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 125 of the Act provides that interpreters and other persons like clerks or servants of advocates are bound by the same duty of confidentiality as the advocate. They cannot disclose any privileged communication they become aware of during their duties. This extends the umbrella of professional confidentiality beyond the advocate to all who assist in legal services. The aim is to preserve the integrity of legal strategy and communication. Option D is correct because interpreters are specifically protected under this provision for maintaining client confidentiality.
