The parties may use any of the four methods namely, Discovery and Inspection of Documents, Interrogatories, Admission and Anton Piller Order. These methods are provided by the Rules of Court 2012 (Malaysia). While in the UK Civil Procedure Rules 1998 methods of gathering documents include depositions and exchange of witness statements.

In discovery process, the plaintiff or the party needs to satisfy the court that the documents to be discovered are relevant and they are in the possession, custody or power of the opposite party.
