The court accepted it has jurisdiction under s76 to order production against provisional liquidators but set aside Master Hui's ex parte order because there was material non-disclosure at the ex parte stage (failure to disclose the strike out of the claim against Sino Bright, the first strike out of the RICO claim, and the lapse of the US discovery cut-off date), and because many items sought were drafted as impermissible classes/fishing; on balance the court declined to re-grant the order and made specified costs awards.
