British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Nelson v. Nelson, 2013 BCSC 1498 (CanLII):

That does not mean that all of the information or documentation sought by the claimant ought to be ordered produced. Requests for production of financial information in family law cases can still be deemed overly broad: Gruber v. Gruber, 2012 BCSC 1647.
