SUPREME COURT RULES 1987 - REG 29.02

Discovery

    (1)     When the pleadings between the parties to a proceeding have closed, there is to be discovery by the parties of all documents that are or have been in their possession relating to a question raised by the pleadings.

    (2)     Nothing in this Order is to be taken to prevent the parties from agreeing to dispense with or limit the discovery of documents that, but for the agreement, they would be required to make to each other.

    (3)     Except where a pleading contains allegations of a kind referred to in rule 13.10(3), unless the Court orders otherwise, a party is not required to discover a document that is relevant only because it may lead to a train of enquiry.
