Items (i) and (j) were too broad and did not meet the high threshold of direct relevance or necessity for pre-action discovery; the requests constituted an impermissible fishing exercise and were disproportionate and burdensome to the defendant; therefore the court had no jurisdiction to order pre-action discovery and the plaintiff's application was dismissed with costs to the defendant.
