What are the purposes of discovery and analysis in the context of discovery?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ciardullo v. Premetalco Inc., 2009 CanLII 45445 (ON SC):
The starting point for the analysis is to note the purposes of discovery, as did Pierce J. in MacRae v. Santa, above. Discovery is intended to enable the examining party to know the case it must meet, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing party’s case and its own case, and to obtain admissions for use at trial.
