Can a third party holding the record be compelled to produce the record directly or directly?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from HZ v Unger, 2013 ABQB 639 (CanLII):
Brown v. Malik proceeds on the assumption that the third party holding the record might not be compelled to produce it directly (under old Rule 209, or new Rule 5.13) because of the statutory exemption. The statutory immunity removed the document from the power of an examinee, over whom the court had jurisdiction.
