    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP421/2006

    The judge found the narrowed scope described specific documents sufficiently to satisfy s76(4), the documents were properly endorsed by the California judge and are directly material to the fraud/alter-ego issues in the US proceedings, bank confidentiality was outweighed by the public interest in assisting the foreign court, and alleged non-disclosures were not shown to be material; accordingly the applications to set aside were dismissed and the Master’s order was upheld subject to revision of scope and timing and a costs order nisi.
