The court ordered disclosure of the whole of the Plaintiff's source code because the defence experts' evidence established that the entire source code was material and interrelated such that inspection of only selected parts would frustrate proper expert analysis and the fair disposal of the action; the applicant's case on materiality is to be assumed for the purpose of testing the necessity of production under Order 24 r13(1), and deferral of disputed parts was not appropriate.
