Discovery - Releasing Copy Documentation
Litigation
01/08/1995
Notwithstanding that the Rules of the Superior Courts do not oblige solicitors to furnish copies of documents which are the subject of Discovery, it is recommended that solicitors, upon being requested to do so, should furnish copies of Discovery documentation on a reciprocal basis upon payment of a reasonable photocopying fee.
There will be cases where this may not be possible because of the volume of documentation involved. In those cases, this general recommendation will not apply but solicitors are urged to deal with their colleagues in such cases on a reasonable basis. Where documentation is being furnished, it should be presented in chronological or some otherwise reasonable order.
