Australia ALRC releases Consultation Paper on Discovery | ALRC
The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) today released a
Consultation Paper for the Inquiry into Discovery of Documents in
Federal Courts—Discovery in Federal Courts (ALRC CP 2, 2010).
The 2009 Access to Justice Taskforce report—established by the
Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, which recommended that the
ALRC conduct this Inquiry—noted that the high and disproportionate
cost of discovery can impose a barrier to justice in court based
dispute resolution. While the truth-seeking purposes of discovery may
promote fairness in litigation, the commercial realities of
contemporary discovery practice and procedure may threaten the very
same fairness and justice sought to be achieved.
