The court exercised its discretion to uphold the ex parte order and grant assistance under the Letter of Request because the omitted facts were not material to whether Vivien should be ordered to testify on matters spanning from 1995 to present; the relevance of Vivien's evidence is primarily for the California court; any non-disclosure was not deliberate nor seriously prejudicial and setting aside the order would risk miscarriage of justice by depriving the foreign court of potentially important evidence.
