The wife's summons for specific discovery against the banker is dismissed because she failed to show that bank statements for the extended period (Apr 2010–Dec 2011) were necessary or proportionate for fair disposal; discovery should be sought against the husband under Order 24 r 7 and not by back-door orders against the bank; requests beyond the 3-year statutory presumption are presumptively disproportionate and retrospective investigations are discouraged absent strong evidence of dissipation.
