FAQ
All parties are entitled to attend. No judge is present. There are two broad purposes to the examination for discovery: (1) understanding the other side's case and (2) obtaining admissions helpful to the examining party that can subsequently be used at trial or on a motion, such as a summary judgment motion.
You serve the notice of examination on the debtor or other person to be examined at least 30 days before the hearing. If the debtor to be examined is an individual, you will also need to serve a blank Financial Information Form Form 20I. If the debtor is a business, no financial information form is required.
An examination for discovery is a process in Ontario civil proceedings where one party to a lawsuit can ask questions of the other party under oath. This is typically done in order to obtain information about the case and to help prepare for trial.
The purpose of discovery is to enable the opposing party in a lawsuit to know the case it has to meet; to obtain admissions that may harm the other side's case; to narrow or eliminate the issues in an action; and to facilitate settlement.
Typically, settlement will happen at some point after examinations for discovery. This is when all of the evidence has been disclosed in the proceeding, and each party has a better grasp of the strength/weaknesses of its own case.
Scope of Discovery 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.
For example, you can ask the court to hold a hearing on the defendant's finances so that you can get more information about the debtor. This is called an examination. Step 1: FILE a Notice of Examination form at the court office. Also file an Affidavit for Enforcement Request (Form 20P) with details of the debt.
The prosecutor's right to discovery is deemed reciprocal as it arises from the defendant's request for discovery. The prosecutor's ability to obtain discovery is limited by the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights, specifically the defendant's constitutional protection against self-incrimination.
However, the Notice of Action merely ensures that the person filing it is provided with an additional 30 days before filing the Statement of Claim. Once the Statement of Claim is filed, the person must serve both the Statement of Claim and Notice of Action together.
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.
