No. 667 (C.A.), the Alberta Court of Appeal considered what evidence is required to satisfy the criteria for obtaining an Anton Piller order. In overturning the lower court’s decision and setting aside the Anton Piller order in this case, the Court of Appeal made it clear that strong evidence showing a real possibility the defendant will destroy documents is necessary before such an extraordinary order will be granted.
