- CACV97/1988
The Court allowed the appeal and set aside the order of 26 July 1988 because the judge's exercise of discretion was vitiated by failure to account for the reopening of issues following re-amendment of pleadings, the resulting change in scope and delay in discovery, and the likelihood that the order improperly delegated discovery to plaintiffs' agents; further the unusual order was not necessary to dispose fairly of the cause or to save costs under Rule 13 and the proper remedies would have been further affidavit/inspection or invocation of Rule 16 sanctions.
