Galehead Inc. v. The "Trinity"

This was a motion for production of documents. The significant issue in the motion was whether production of documents under the Federal Court Rules, 1998 was wider than under the old rules. The Prothonotary reviewed Rules 223(1) and 222(2) and determined that the definition of relevancy under the new rules was, if anything, narrower than under the old rules. Nevertheless, under either set of rules, the Prothonotary held that a party seeking additional production must produce persuasive evidence that additional documents are available or relevant information has been suppressed. A mere suspicion is not enough.
