Applicant did not dispute the core factual basis of the charges (the dates of absence) and failed to demonstrate any inaccuracy or contradiction in the respondents' affidavits; the documents sought relate to the merits of the disciplinary decision rather than to procedural irregularity in decision-making; discovery in judicial review is limited and should not be allowed to enable a merits challenge—therefore the discovery application was unnecessary and dismissed.
