    FCMC3343/2015

    Petitioner had partial success because respondent made additional relevant disclosures after the summons; however significant parts of the summons (notably paras 2 and 3) were oppressive, imprecise or unjustified while the second questionnaire's questions were largely reasonable; balancing these factors and exercising discretion under Order 62 the correct costs order was that petitioner pay half the costs of the summons and there be no order as to costs for the other half, with standard certification and taxation provisions; same order for costs of the arguments as an order nisi.

    The summons for further information was largely refused because it was made late after trial commenced in breach of a prior order prohibiting further questionnaires without leave, and because many items were oppressive, excessive or unnecessary given the Petitioner was a litigant in person; only a limited subset of items in Table 3 that were necessary for a fair trial were ordered to be provided (items 7,13,16,17(a)-(b),20-23,25-28).
