What is the test for having a sufficient number of documents in a personal injury case?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Shipanoff v. Landry, 2008 ABQB 212 (CanLII):

At the outset, I note that the number of documents alone is not the sole consideration under this head. Instead, the issue is whether the jury will be required to spend an inordinate or unreasonable amount of time studying them (Redshaw v. Farfield, 2007 ABQB 163, A.J. No. 529).
