The summons for specific discovery was dismissed because Order 24 rule 7 cannot be invoked pre-action or before pleadings and Lists of Documents are filed; the applicant failed to meet the Rule 7(3) prerequisites and the application was an overly wide fishing expedition; inherent jurisdiction and Practice Direction 18.1 do not provide power to order specific discovery.
