Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from York Region Condominium Corporation No. 890 v. Market Village, 2019 ONSC 4835 (CanLII):
In determining the propriety of the questions taken under advisement and refused, I have applied both the relevance test stated at Rule 31.06 and the principles of proportionality set out at Rule 29.2.03. I have further considered the scope of discovery as summarized by Justice Perell in Ontario v. Rothmans Inc., 2011 ONSC 2504 at para. 129.
