Application to enforce Letters Rogatory granted on a narrowed basis to compel non-party document production.
The applicants sought an order to enforce Letters Rogatory issued by a New York Court in a U.S. securities class action, compelling production of documents from the respondent, a non-party Ontario corporation.
The respondent opposed the application, arguing the requests were overly broad, irrelevant, and unduly burdensome.
The court applied the Friction Division guideposts and granted the application on a narrowed basis, restricting the temporal scope of the production and establishing a staged process to manage the costs and burden of electronic document review.
