Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
A failure to assert a work-product privilege at the earliest opportunity, in response to a discovery motion, does not constitute a waiver of the privilege so long as the privilege is asserted by a pleading, to the trial court, before there has been an actual disclosure of the information alleged to be protected. § 90.507, Fla.Stat. (1987); Eastern Airlines, Inc. v. Gellert, 431 So. 2d 329 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983); Insurance Co. of N. Am. v. Noya, 398 So. 2d 836 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).
Certiorari is granted. The order compelling disclosure is quashed and the cause is remanded for further proceedings.

Morgan v. Tracy, 604 So. 2d 15 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992)…titioner’s prior disclosure of the expert’s written report constituted a waiver of the work product privilege as to the facts known and opinions held by the expert that were not previously disclosed.
