How can a defendant obtain evidence for discovery in a personal injury case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hadani v. Hadani, 2012 BCSC 1142 (CanLII):
The obvious tool that the defendant can use to obtain that evidence is an examination for discovery. That is because although the scope of document production has narrowed under the new rules, the scope of examination for discovery is unchanged and very broad: Kaladjian, supra, para. 58; Kendall v. Sun Life Assurance company of Canada, 2010 BCSC 1556.
