Inspection of documents referred to in pleadings and affidavits (O. 24, r. 10)
10.

(2) The party on whom a notice is served under paragraph (1) must, within 4 days after service of the notice, serve on the party giving the notice a notice stating a time within 7 days after the service thereof at which the documents, or such of them as he does not object to produce, may be inspected at a place specified in the notice, and stating which (if any) of the documents he objects to produce and on what grounds.
Order for production for inspection (O. 24, r. 11)

(a) fails to serve a notice under rule 9 or, as the case may be, rule 10(2), or
(b) objects to produce any document for inspection, or
(c) offers inspection at a time or place such that, in the opinion of the Court, it is unreasonable to offer inspection then or, as the case may be, there,
then, subject to rule 13(1), the Court may, on the application of the party entitled to inspection, make an order for production of the documents in question for inspection at such time and place, and in such manner, as it thinks fit.
