ACTON TRUSTEE SERVICES LIMITED v R OPERA AND A B ACTON [2014] NZHC 1882

- High Court
The court found the documents sought were relevant to the dispute over liability and quantum, were within the control of the plaintiff/third party (including documents of BWL within Mr Acton's control) and therefore ordered production; the discovery obligation extends to documents adverse to the party's case and the non‑party status of BWL does not absolve Mr Acton from producing documents he can obtain.
