Can a third party resident of another province resident in another province be ordered to produce his or her records to a litigant?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Eastman v. Eastman, 2013 BCSC 1019 (CanLII):
In Nikolic v. Olson, the issue before the court was whether our court had jurisdiction to order a litigant to authorize a third party resident in another province to produce his or her records (relating to that litigant) to another litigant.
Mayer v. Mayer, among other things, was about relevant documents at the two paragraphs cited by the defendants and discussed general principles related to document production. Accordingly, it is of no assistance to the case at bar.
