Huh? There is something called "disclosure", in the US anyway. They
_have_
to provide the opposing party copies of or access to their evidence. But
if you are at the stage of examining evidence and preparing defenses, then
you're really outside the realm of small claims court and you need a
lawyer.

Around here it is called discovery.

Actually it is here too. GOTTA quit posting before coffee.

The opposing party must provide
you with evidence they will present in court so that you may have time
to prepare a rebuttal. They don't have to provide copies of things you
should already have, such a sales contract.

You can subpoena evidence from them. The first thing I would want is a
copy of their home inspector's report to them. If he found nothing
wrong with the shower, he will pretty much have to say so in court to
protect his reputation.
