 (2) As soon as practicable on learning of the dispute and in the course of exchanging correspondence under clause 3 of this Part, parties must exchange copies of documents in their possession or control relevant to an issue in dispute (for example, medical reports, school reports, letters, drawings, photographs).
 (3) Parties should refer to subrule 6.05(2) which lists relevant documents that must be disclosed in parenting proceedings.
 (4) Parties must not use a document disclosed by another party for a purpose other than the resolution or determination of the dispute to which the disclosure of the document relates, unless an exception applies under subrule 6.04(2).
 (5) Documents produced by a person to another person in compliance with the pre‑action procedures are taken to have been produced on the basis of an undertaking from the party receiving the documents that the documents will be used for the purpose of the proceeding only.
 (6) Parties must also file an undertaking as to disclosure that states that the party is aware of the ongoing duty of disclosure and has complied with this duty, to the best of the party's knowledge and ability, before the first court date (see rule 6.02).
