Disclaimer, I haven't been through JR process but if they are asking you for "an updated set of documents", I would sent an updated complete set instead of just additional documents.
What did you upload when they asked you to submit documents?
These are their exact words:
"Please provide an updated set of documents to enable a fresh assessment of your visa application. "

I don't understand what you mean. Some documents were submitted earlier with the application that was refused, now if they are asking for updated documents do we upload only new documents or previously submitted documents as well?
It is best to provide everything.
I would provide LOA, SOP, Funds, Home ties establishment and GIC if applicable
Good Luck
First of all, I agree with one reply above: consult an immigration lawyer / consultant. They should be able to guide you.
My comment was based only on my interpretation of the message you received. They asked you for an "updated set of documents". By "set" I'm guessing they are referring to all of the documents required for submitting an application (e.g.: LOA, SOP, proof of funds, etc.). They did not ask you for additional documents, they asked you for an updated set.
In short, I would provide a newer version of the documents you submitted when you applied. But again, it would be best to run it by an immigration lawyer.
Did you do the judicial review yourself? Because if you hired a lawyer then they should be ones answering this question.
I can't look at your old posts since you've limited your profile but was your JR settled out of court or was your case actually heard by the Federal Court?
If it was settled out of court, then address their reason of original refusal in your Letter of Explanation by modifying the original LOE then upload that. Upload updated financial documents (bank statements).
People need to understand that Judicial Review is not decided on the merits of the case and winning a JR in and of itself doesn't mean much unless you pre-emptively address the potential points of refusal in your LOE and your supporting documentation.
Remember, JR is decided along the lines of procedural fairness or reasonableness. The standard of review for procedural fairness is "correctness" and the standard of review for reasonableness is laid out by the Vavilov decision. Most judicial reviews are won by the applicant because the Visa Officer didn't justify his decision in an intelligible manner in the GCMS notes or ignored/did not address evidence that was contrary to his assertions. Here's a good JR that was decided just a few days ago and the arguments used in that case illustrates what I'm saying:
