The time limit on discovery requires that counsel for the examining party not unduly interfere or intervene during the examination for discovery. A largely “hands off” approach, except in the clearest cases, is consistent with the object of the Rules: Kendall v. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, 2010 BCSC 1556 at paras. 14, 18.
