What is the relevant case law in the context of an examination for discovery?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Li v. Oneil, 2013 BCSC 1449 (CanLII):
As the examination for discovery was not concluded, the heavy onus required to justify a further discovery referred to in Sutherland v. Lucas is not engaged. Given the extensive document production since the examination for discovery was conducted, I am also of the view that the defendant is entitled to continue its examination for discovery based on the new material, whether or not it was produced in accordance with a request left on the record.
