ORDER 32

DISCOVERY AND INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS AND INTERROGATORIES

1. Where a request in writing for voluntary discovery has been made at least 14 days prior to the issuing of the notice of motion and no agreement in writing to make discovery in the terms requested has been received within such period, any party may apply to the court or to the County Registrar by notice of motion to be served not less than four clear days before the hearing thereof, for an order directing any other party to any proceeding to make discovery on oath of the documents which are or have been in his possession or power, relating to any matter in question therein. On the hearing of such application the Judge may either refuse or adjourn the same, if satisfied that such discovery is not necessary, or not necessary at that stage of the proceeding, or make such order on such terms as to the security for the costs of discovery or otherwise, and either generally or limited to certain classes of documents, as he may think fit. Such affidavit of documents shall be in accordance with Form 31 of the Schedule of Forms annexed hereto.
