Because HSBC consented and the limited refusals by the California Court did not undermine the necessity of obtaining a complete historical record of the relevant HSBC account to trace funds and identify further defendants, the court exercised its equitable discretion to grant the Norwich Pharmacal order in the terms of the plaintiffs' draft order with modifications; comity and foreign discovery considerations were weighed but did not preclude relief on the facts; procedural irregularity in using Form 10 was noted and practitioners directed to use Form 8.
