(1) If there has been an implied joinder of issue between the parties to a proceeding on an application, any party may, unless the Magistrates Court otherwise orders, by notice for discovery filed and served on another party, require the party served to give discovery of documents.
Note If a form is approved under the Court Procedures Act 2004 for this provision, the form must be used.
(2) However, a party to a proceeding may require discovery under subsection (1) after a certificate of readiness for hearing has been filed only if the certificate has been withdrawn or struck out.
