Blue Sky One Ltd & Ors v Blue Airways LLC & Ors

Blue Sky One Ltd & Ors v Blue Airways LLC & Ors

The refusal to order specific disclosure was a proper exercise of the case management discretion. The statements made to the US Bureau were not sufficiently relevant to the central issue of whether there was an oral agreement in 2006, and their disclosure would not assist the trial judge in determining the real issues in dispute.
