We have been told by the organisation we are in dispute with,* the matter is finished.* we requested ADR to resolve the complaint as part of our contract and also as part of pre action protocol.* They have refused this as they say there decision is final.* we have requested ADR again.* in the meantime id like to obtain certain documents.* they have refused this.* How would one apply to the court under 31.16 to obtain disclosure before proceedings start.* is it likely to be successful, the organisation will fight to withhold disclosure.* If we file a claim against them in due course are the duty bound to disclose any information we request such as third party application forms and internal documents specific to our claim.
Thank you
