The affirmation provided an adequate basis for pre-action discovery because it made it reasonable to suspect a Principal Contractor and that the defendant was the proper party to identify relevant documents; however, the defendant's conduct was at most dilatory and they promptly acknowledged service and disclosed documents the same day, so the normal costs rule applied: no order as to costs of the proceedings, but the plaintiff must pay the defendant's costs of the hearing to be summarily assessed and the plaintiff's own costs taxed under Legal Aid Regulations.
