The court granted specific discovery because the plaintiff demonstrated a prima facie case: the Manuals and documents explaining the Directive evidently exist, are within the defendant's control, and are relevant and necessary to determine whether concentration risk legitimately justified the defendant's conduct; disclosure shortly before trial was not oppressive and limited timed disclosure (4 days for Manuals; 5 days for Directive documents) was appropriate.
