The Court of Appeal held the judge did not err in exercising his discretion under s29: the trustees demonstrated a reasonable requirement and prima facie the Sisters possessed relevant information; the scope and limitations imposed on examination were proportionate; the appeal lacked sufficient prospects to justify a stay; the Sisters' delay in prosecuting the appeal and absence of evidence that the examination would be rendered nugatory without a stay meant the stay application failed; indemnity costs were justified as exceptional.
