The court exercised its discretion to limit the scope of the discovery order. It found no justification to direct disclosure to any other parties beyond those relevant to the pleaded issues and replaced the word 'another' in paragraph 50 with (i) the 1st plaintiff, 3rd plaintiff or Yew; and/or (ii) bank accounts held or controlled by the 1st plaintiff, the 3rd plaintiff or Yew. The court ordered compliance within 7 days and declined to expand discovery as sought by the 1st defendant because that would be a fishing expedition and impose undue burden at an advanced stage of proceedings.
