“What is the point of going to court?”

Well, Orly, generally it is a place to resolve legal disputes. The Plaintiff, your side, presents some facts, and then some law related to those facts, and makes a claim for relief. You don’t get to use courts for suspicions and then go out and seek some evidence to back up your suspicions. This is why one court sanctioned you to the tune of $20,000.

parsy, who hopes she understands now

Well, dubious as it is, I thought she had a “Kenyan B/C” - so wouldn’t that be the evidence? Wouldn’t zero have to prove it’s not the real one?

Two points. In civil court you generally do get to use suspicions, as long as they are reasonable and supported by some evidence. Discover is about getting further evidence to confirm or refute those suspicions. Somewhat like the police having suspicions that a crime has been committed, and seeking a search warrant. Those suspicions need only be reasonable and be backed only by affidavit showing probable cause, in order for a magistrate to issue a search warrant. All that generally before charges are even filed.
