Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Farrer v. Kelso, 1917 CanLII 263 (SK QB):
This was followed in Nicholl v. Wheeler, 17 Q.B.D. 101, on appeal in this case at p. 319, Cotton, L.J. said: A party who has made an affidavit of documents cannot be ordered to make a further affidavit unless, either upon the face of the affidavit itself, or of the documents referred to in it, or in his pleading, there is something, which affords a presumption that he has in his possession other relevant documents besides those the possession of which he has admitted.
