The court held that Order 39 is available to issue letters of request for overseas evidence in judicial review proceedings even when the underlying matter is criminal in origin because the High Court Rules apply to O 53 proceedings subject to an appropriateness test; therefore the court has jurisdiction under O 39 to issue the requested letters of request and will determine the exercise of that discretion on specified later dates.
