THE ADVOCATE 829
VOL. 79 PART 6 NOVEMBER 2021
4. Documentary exhibits should be duplicated only if absolutely necessary.
If an affiant wishes to refer to an exhibit that has already been
attached to an affidavit, the affiant should refer to the exhibit in that
other affidavit.
5. Counsel should consider preparing a separate book of documentary
exhibits containing all the documents attached as exhibits to affidavits,
organized chronologically, with a table of concordance relating each
document to the affidavit that exhibited it.
6. Counsel should consider grouping together all components of the
record that contain the evidence of a single witness. For example, if the
witness has sworn two affidavits and there is a transcript of an examination
of the witness, all these materials should be found in successive
tabs of the record.
7. If written argument is included in the record, it should be contained in
a binder that is separate from the binder or binders containing the evidence,
for ease of reference in checking the citations.
8. Counsel should consider using a compendium or condensed book for
ease of reference during oral argument, bearing in mind that a condensed
book containing decontextualized extracts from documents,
transcripts or affidavits will not assist the judge in their review of the
evidence as a whole.
