Under UCPR Rule 21.1, what is required for documents to be considered relevant?

For documents to be deemed relevant under UCPR Rule 21.1, they must potentially affect the assessment of a fact's existence. This means that the documents need to have some bearing on the issues in dispute, or help in determining whether a particular fact is true or false, regardless of whether they are conclusive evidence by themselves. Relevance is about the connection between the document and the matters in contention in the case.

This requirement allows for a broad range of documents to be considered, as they do not need to be limited to instances where they provide clear evidence or are from previous cases. The focus is on their potential to influence the understanding or determination of factual issues relevant to the proceedings.
