• Secretary of State for Defence v LA [2011] UKUT 391 (AAC)

  There is no presumption that a party has correctly identified all relevant documents on disclosure. There is no need for a presumption, as the rules of procedure provide sufficient powers to deal with any issues that may arise concerning excessive demands for disclosure. Any presumption would be inconsistent with those rules.

Section 25 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 does not authorise the Upper Tribunal to give that permission.
