The court held that P1, as a director, is entitled to inspect the undisputed categories of company documents because the statutory and common law right to inspect is broad and not defeated by the respondents' allegations of improper purpose absent clear proof; the contested Dismissal and Indemnity Costs summonses were dismissed as either premature, misconceived or inappropriate; costs orders and directions were made proportionately to reflect unreasonable conduct by plaintiffs' advisers and to govern further steps including confirmation of the 47 bundles and undertakings on privilege.
