FAQ
Steps Of The Discovery Process. There are four key actions in the discovery process which include interrogatories, request for documents, request for admissions, and depositions.
The mediation phase directly follows after discovery in a personal injury case. It allows an opportunity for both parties to reach an agreement and settle. The plaintiff and defendant will both agree on who should be the mediator before this process begins.
Discoveries are a part of the Ontario Superior Court process, as established by the Rules of Civil Procedure (the “Rules”) and assist with understanding the other parties' positions and evidence. Discoveries are a key step after pleadings have been delivered and before the trial can take place.
After examinations for discovery conclude, the parties will attend mediation. Subject to certain exceptions, mediation is mandatory in Ontario.
Introduction. Rule 48 is about listing (scheduling) an action for trial and gives the party some control over when the trial will occur. It is the mechanism for parties to "have their day in court".
The scope of discovery is very broad. Rule 30.02(1) provides that “every document relating to any matter in issue in an action” must be disclosed, and rule 31.06 (1) requires persons being examined to answer “any proper question relating to any matter in issue in the action”, subject to privilege claims.
This Standard Document can be used to prepare a notice of examination for an examination for discovery, a cross-examination on an affidavit, or an examination in aid of execution in Ontario. It includes integrated drafting notes, important explanations, and drafting tips.
Generally examination for discovery is limited to the parties to an action. Rule 31.10 provides for the ability to seek leave (permission) from a judge to examine a non-party. There is a significant onus on a party seeking to examine a non-party and all elements of Rule 31.10(2) must be met.
Discovery is a formal process by which the parties in a lawsuit disclose all facts relevant to the dispute before trial. During discovery, the parties divulge their evidence and the witnesses they plan on calling at trial.
Examination for discovery is the out-of-court examination (questioning) under oath of the parties to an action (lawsuit). Every party to the dispute is entitled to examine every other adverse (opposing) party.
