PENINA VS NORTH MARA
The court held that filing of witness statements does not mark the commencement of hearing under the Civil Procedure Code. Inspection of documents, including the valuation report, may be ordered at any stage if relevant to the issues. The defendant failed to provide sufficient grounds to waive or vary the previous order granting plaintiffs access to the valuation report. The plaintiffs are entitled to access and peruse the valuation report to the extent it concerns them.
