The application for inspection was dismissed because the Defendant failed to show inspection was necessary or would assist determination of the disputed issues: there was no real dispute as to the location of the enclosed area, inspection cannot determine historic lot boundaries or the dates when structures were first erected, the Defendant's pleaded case did not require site inspection to resolve liability, and ordering inspection for mesne profits or mediation was premature given the split trial on liability.
