The defendants in a personal injury action arising from a motor vehicle accident brought a motion for the production of the plaintiff's tax returns, employment file from a non-party, and a third year of pre-accident medical records.
The plaintiff consented to producing tax returns but opposed the request for the additional medical records.
The court granted the motion, finding that three years of pre-accident medical records is the baseline standard in personal injury actions and proportional under the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The court also ordered the non-party employer to produce the employment file, as it was relevant to the damages claim and necessary for a fair hearing.
