→The Family Law Act
===The ''Family Law Act''===
The ''Family Law Act'' is a provincial law, and accordingly says a lot more about the discovery and disclosure process. Section 5 imposes a duty on the people involved in family law dispute that's pretty similar to the duty imposed by section 7.4 of the ''Divorce Act'', except that this duty applies to ''everyone'' who is involved in a family law dispute, not just people who are ''going to court '' about their family law dispute! . This section says that:
<blockquote><tt>(1) A party to a family law dispute must provide to the other party full and true information for the purposes of resolving a family law dispute.</tt></blockquote>
<blockquote><tt>(2) A person must not use information obtained under this section except as necessary to resolve a family law dispute.</tt></blockquote>
