One could manually go through the evidential texts and retrieve them but should one use an extraction tool the entire email section / text section would be downloaded, would this be the preferred method and subsequently, an edited report could be prepared containing just the relevant material
I routinely deal with privileged material in the course of e-discovery and handle it exactly the way you suggested. While my work is in the USA, privilege derives from UK common law and is thus substantially similar. A responsive production is that which is relevant and not subject to privilege, so protocols include both a review for privilege and a clawback provision, covering the accidental production of privileged material.
