In a personal injury claim, is a defendant obliged to disclose surveillance evidence to the claimant first before filing the same to the court?

In a personal injury claim, is a defendant obliged to disclose surveillance evidence to the claimant first before filing the same to the court? The duty of disclosure is the duty to state that a document exists or has existed (CPR 31.2). Usually this is complied with by providing standard disclosure (CPR 31.5) as ordered by the court. Surveillance evidence will usually fall within the scope of standard disclosure in that it will support or adversely affect the case of one of the parties (CPR 31.6). Once a document has been disclosed a party to whom it has been disclosed has a right to inspect it (CPR 31.3). The duty of standard disclosure is a continuing duty and CPR 31.11(2) specifically states that ‘If documents to which that duty extends come to a party’s notice at any time during the proceedings, he must immediately notify every other party’. Therefore, once the date for an order for standard disclosure has passed, there is a duty to notify other parties to the...
