What is the test for extending the Halliday process beyond medical records?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wieler v. Bercier, 2004 BCSC 752 (CanLII):
Recognizing that Hope v. Brown dealt with medical records, His Honour said at para. 7: I am satisfied that the extension of the Halliday process beyond medical records may well be appropriate in many circumstances. I am satisfied, however, that it must be incumbent upon a person opposing the production of documents to provide some basis for concluding that there are or may be documents of a prejudicial or private nature which are not relevant to the issues in the action, and that has not been provided in this instance, so the order will go as sought.
