BCI Media Group Pty Ltd v CoreLogic Australia Pty Ltd (No 3)

BCI Media Group Pty Ltd applied to the Federal Court to extend the time for CoreLogic Australia Pty Ltd and others to comply with preliminary discovery orders made pursuant to rule 7.23 of the Federal Court Rules 2011. BCI Media also sought clarification of the scope of the preliminary discovery orders and whether the discovery already provided by CoreLogic was sufficient. The application further addressed whether CoreLogic's list of documents complied with rules 20.17 and 20.22.

The court needed to determine if the preliminary discovery orders were clear enough and if the discovery already provided by CoreLogic was sufficient. Additionally, the court had to consider whether CoreLogic's list of documents complied with the relevant rules. The court also examined the reasonableness of the time extension request and the merits of the application for further production.

The court granted leave for the parties to file and serve written submissions on the costs order related to the application for further production. The court also granted an extension of time for CoreLogic to comply with the preliminary discovery orders, finding that the orders were not sufficiently clear. The court further clarified that the discovery provided by CoreLogic was not sufficient, and its list of documents did not comply with the relevant rules. The court directed the parties to provide draft orders reflecting these findings and instructed the parties to submit written submissions on the costs order.

The court issued orders granting an extension of time for compliance with the preliminary discovery orders and clarifying the scope of those orders. The court also required the parties to submit written submissions on the costs order related to the application for further production. Entry of these orders is governed by Rule 39.32 of the Federal Court Rules 2011.
