them and that they are in the possession or power of the other party.
18. (1) Where inspection of any business books is applied for, the Court or a Judge in chambers may, if it or he

inspection of the book from which the copy was made.

specified or indicated in the application, is or are or has or have at any time been in his possession, custody, or
power, when he parted with the same and what has become of it.

particular document or documents or the class or classes of documents specified or indicated in the application
and that they relate to the matters in question in the action or to some or one of them.
