The appeal was dismissed because the 1st Defendant failed to show exceptional circumstances or a nearly certain defence justifying specific discovery before pleadings; similar facts evidence was held not sufficiently relevant to a pure negligence defence (it is more probative of intent/knowledge), the particulars of alleged negligence were already within the 1st Defendants knowledge, and items sought were not necessary at this stage to plead with particularity.
