application by applicant for Registrar of Titles to give discovery
where applicant seeks injunction restraining Registrar from transferring land pursuant to mortgagee's right
where no basis demonstrated that documents sought are of any relevance
Quick Take
1A discovery application will be dismissed where no basis is demonstrated that the documents sought are of any possible relevance to the claims made in the proceedings.
2Where the legal basis for an application for injunctive relief is obscure and the applicant has failed in related prior proceedings on the same legal theory, the court may of its own motion require the applicant to show cause why the proceedings should not be dismissed on a summary basis.
3As a matter of practical case management, the court may direct a respondent to file a short affidavit addressing matters raised in oral submissions to obviate the need for a broader discovery application.
