The certificate guides how to make Initial Disclosure, including listing key relied-upon documents and disclosure necessary to understand the claim or defence, or recording agreed dispensations or court-ordered exemptions. It also covers Extended Disclosure orders, search limits for Models C, D, and E, and requires certification of compliance: preserving relevant documents, disclosing adverse non-privileged materials, conducting responsible searches, acting honestly, and using reasonable efforts to exclude irrelevant documents.","Appendix 4 to Practice Direction 57AD\nDisclosure Certificate\nNotes: This Disclosure

types, keyword searches and any relevant limits specified.\nTo the extent any of these limits were not contained in the Disclosure Order/s or recorded in an agreement in writing between the parties
