    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1826/2009

    The court refused specific discovery and the late amendment because the documents sought were not shown to be relevant or were overbroad, the defendant failed to define a precise class of documents, and the applications were made too late post-PTR without valid explanation thereby causing potential prejudice and cost waste; further witness evidence was allowed only in part where relevant and non-duplicative (paras 24–28) and other proposed evidence was disallowed as irrelevant or unnecessary because the settlement order can be produced by consent or by brief examination-in-chief.
