Can a plaintiff list the documents at issue in cross-examination?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Cambie Surgeries Corporation v British Columbia (Attorney General), 2019 BCSC 1221 (CanLII):
The plaintiffs say they do not need to list the documents at issue because they do not go to the proving or disproving of a material fact. They rely on Beazley v. Suzuki Motor Corporation, 2010 BCSC 613 where a document was not listed and was permitted to be used in cross‑examination because it had become relevant during the testimony of the witness.
