Clackamas County Oregon

The situation: The petitioner was instructed to label and provide evidence, by the clerk, which would be shared with the judge and the respondent (the judge had not entered the court room at this time).

Copies of the evidence were made and not distributed to the respondent when they asked for a continuance on the grounds that they needed counsel, no objection was made by the petitioner.

Prior to the continuance being granted they were provided the copies of the evidence.

The question: Does this violate the petitioners right not to have to provide discovery before trial?

Who would be at fault if this did violate the petitioner’s right?
