Practice Direction 6 does not displace the obligation to make discovery under Order 29 of the Supreme Court Rules; it introduces a disclosure process intended to be the prelude to dispensing with discovery, but where the PD6 process has not resolved disputes about document production, the court retains power to order limited discovery.
