Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Vector Transportation Services Inc. v. Traffic Tech Inc., 2008 CanLII 11050 (ON SC):

The nature of the requests demonstrates how the innovations of technology combined with the ingenuity of advocates can yield an infinite class of information that might satisfy the test of a semblance of relevancy. For instance, in Desganage v. Yuen, the defendant wanted access to the game unit to assess the plaintiff’s cognitive abilities post-accident.
