SCHEDULE OF REASONS
I find that the Claimant’s Request to Produce filed on 27 May 2020 is too broad on the basis that it does not include either a description of a requested document sufficient to identify it or a description, in sufficient detail, of a narrow and specific requested category of documents.
The Claimant’s Request also failed to meet the mandatory criteria set out in RDC 28.1.
