What is the test for privacy to resist production?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gibson v. Mian, 2002 BCSC 1836 (CanLII):

I will say first of all in parentheses that I do not believe that privacy is, in itself, a proper reason to resist production. To dispute production it has to be either irrelevant or privileged, but with that caveat I am satisfied that I can accept that description of the law, for the purposes of this decision, without having to look further into the Amos v. Virk case.
