relevant section means any of the following sections:
• section 68 (Respondent to give documents etc to claimant)
• section 69 (Respondent to give documents etc to contributor)
• section 70 (Contributor to give documents to respondent).
(2) This section applies to the extent that a relevant section requires a

documents or information (relevant material) to someone else and
the total number of pages of the copies exceeds 200 pages.
(3) Within the time the disclosing person would, apart from this section,

relevant section, the disclosing person need only offer the other
person a reasonable opportunity to inspect the material.
(4) If the other person, whether on inspection or otherwise, by written
notice given to the disclosing person, requires the disclosing person
to give the other person copies of some or all of the relevant material,
the disclosing person must comply with the requirement within—
(a) if the total number of pages does not exceed 200—1 month after
the day the requirement is made; or
(b) in any other case—1 month after the day the other person pays
50 cents for each page by which the total number of pages
exceeds 200 pages.
