- [2021] NZHC 1047
- Court
- High Court
An employee/director is required to discover only those documents over which he has 'control' defined as an enforceable right to access and copy; documents held by an employer and subject to the employer's objection are not in the employee's control and need not be discovered by the employee. Employment-related documents containing the individual's personal information are discoverable because the individual has an enforceable access right under the Privacy Act 2020.
