- HCCW399/1999
The court has jurisdiction under Norwich Pharmacal principles to order discovery to contributories/parties to a winding up petition where the information is necessary for them to make an informed decision and cannot be obtained from any other source; applying the discretionary test, the discovery ordered on 24 November 1999 should stand (applications to discharge dismissed) and targeted discovery as amended should be granted because justice requires contributories not be forced to decide on the petition without necessary information.
