What is Discovery?

In common law jurisdictions, discovery is the pre-trial stage of a lawsuit during which each party can obtain evidence from the other party or parties through the use of discovery tools like interrogatories, requests for the production of documents, requests for admissions, and depositions.

The early equitable pleading process before the English Court of Chancery had a distinctive characteristic that led to the development of discovery: among other requirements, a plaintiff's bill in equity had to plead "positions." These were assertions of evidence that the plaintiff believed to be true in support of his pleading and that the defendant knew about.

The availability of discovery in equity attracted plaintiffs in legal cases even though it did not exist in common law (legal proceedings in the common law courts). They started submitting bills in equity to acquire discovery in support of legal actions. The law to perpetuate the testimony of a possible witness was born as a result of this in the middle of the 15th century.
