Plain-English Summary
Collaborative law replaces the formal discovery machinery of litigation with a duty of candor. Section 3312 requires a party, on another party's request, to disclose information related to the collaborative matter fully, candidly, and promptly, without resorting to formal discovery tools like depositions or document requests. If previously disclosed information later changes in a material way, the party must update it promptly too. The parties themselves get to define how far that disclosure duty reaches during the process.
