“Disclosure is not a fishing expedition. Disclosure cannot be used to cause delay, deliberately burden an opponent with unnecessary costs or to reap tactical advantage: Chernyakhovsky v. Chernyakhovsky  2005 CarswellOnt 942.  It cannot be used to confuse, mislead or distract the trier of fact’s attention from the main issues – even if done inadvertently”: Boyd v. Fields  2006 CarswellOnt 8675.”

Milgrom v. Levy, 2019 ONSC 564 (CanLII) at 28
