Discovery in judicial review proceedings in Tasmania is now confined to documents 'directly relevant to the issues raised by the pleadings' following the amendment to r 382 of the Supreme Court Rules 2000, replacing the broader 'Peruvian Guano' test previously applied. Grounds of judicial review need not be fully particularised at the outset, but must identify the real basis of complaint and be at least arguable; where an extraneous purpose is alleged under s 20(c) of the Judicial Review Act 2000 (Tas), particulars of the alleged purpose must be provided.
