- HCA1822/2013
KPMG failed to discharge the high burden under Order 12 r 8A to show it would be unjust to allow the protective writs to run their natural course: service is not necessary to obtain letters of request, the MOF opinion did not establish that voluntary production is unlawful, the Mutual Arrangement is uncertain and inadequate for the Liquidators' broader investigatory purposes under the section 221 orders, and the delay was substantially caused by KPMG's obstructive conduct; accordingly the application to force service is dismissed.
