The applicant and respondent both brought motions to compel answers to refused questions from cross-examinations on affidavits for a pending application.
The underlying application sought an interim preservation order over a mining royalty.
The applicant sought production of unredacted communications, a valuation report, and a purchase agreement between the respondent and the Public Guardian and Trustee.
The respondent sought answers regarding the deceased's will and the applicant's relationship with a third party.
The court dismissed both motions, finding that the requested documents and answers were not relevant to the narrow issues to be decided on an interim preservation application.
