The court granted leave to issue letters of request to the French judiciary for examination of four named witnesses because their evidence was directly relevant and necessary to determine whether a binding Performance Fee Arrangement existed; alternatives were inadequate (documents and local witnesses insufficient; confidentiality covenants and employer pressure made voluntary attendance or video-link unrealistic); the application was bona fide and not unreasonably delayed; accordingly the action was stayed pending return of the letters and costs were ordered nisi.
