Legal Question in Personal Injury in Canada
Examination for Discovery in Civil Law in Ontario, Canada
I am representing myself in a Civil lawsuit for bullying and harassment in the workplace. After about a year and a half, I collapsed at work and have not been back.
I have had my chance to question the Human Resources Manager, but, even though I mentioned the documents that were priviledged under Schedule B, I did not ask for them.
Is there a way to get them now? Is there a form?
Regards,

Re: Examination for Discovery in Civil Law in Ontario, Canada
Unfortunately, you cannot obtain access to the documents under Schedule B unless the other side is intending to rely on them at trial. That is why they are called privileged.
Pursuant to Rule 30.04(6) a Court may Inspect to Determine Claim of Privilege
(6) Where privilege is claimed for a document, the court may inspect the document to determine the validity of the claim. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194, r. 30.04 (6).
Good luck!

This law firm can only deal with questions relating to British Columbia law. In B.C. there is no such thing a Schedule B to a document list. Please redirect the question to an Ontario lawyer.
