LIBRARY HEADING
Judge: The Honourable Justice Moira Legere Sers
Heard: March 20, 2008, in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia
Subject matter: Non Party Disclosure (Rule 20.06(2))
Issues: Non party psychologist objected to disclosure of part of her file relating to raw test data, copyright materials, instructions and video interviews between herself and children.
Summary: In the course of preparing for the Divorce hearing, a psychological assessment was completed to address allegations of abuse. The psychologist sought to protect certain parts of her file materials.
Results: Disclosure ordered for entire file. The need to assess the reliability of the results in order to achieve the best interests of child outweighs legitimate confidentiality and copyright issues advanced by non-party.
