British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Munro v Winton, 2021 BCSC 1615 (CanLII):

The defendant also relies on Henderson v. Lodge, [1993] B.C.J. No. 610, for the proposition that documents associated with an expert’s report are producible only if and when the expert takes the stand, which, it says, would apply to the investigators in this case.
