Is further discovery of a litigant warranted?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ozdemir v Economical Mutual Insurance Group, 2016 ONSC 5682 (CanLII):
Courts have generally made an order for further discovery of a litigant if such an order is necessary to fulfill the purposes of discovery. Further discovery is warranted where there has been an important change in the facts: see Benedetto v. Giannoulias, 2009 CanLII 29990 (ON SC), at para. 19.
