​When it comes to documents, the term "relevant" holds a significant meaning. In connection with documents, "relevant" implies that the information contained within the document is applicable, pertinent, and directly related to the subject matter at hand which is the lawsuit. Relevant documents provide valuable and specific details that contribute to the understanding and resolution of a particular issue or topic. On the other hand, irrelevant documents, do not. For example, if you filed a medical malpractice lawsuit and were asked to produce all documents relating to your divorce, that request would be objectionable since they have no bearing on any issue in your medical malpractice case.
