The court refused to set aside the master's orders: letters rogatory seeking evidence for trial should be honoured absent abuse; blanket claims of privilege/confidentiality fail and must be asserted question-by-question before the examiner with ultimate determination for the trial judge; document orders are permissible if documents are likely to exist and are specified with sufficient particularity, and where necessary the court may narrow the requests to remove vague or overly broad language.
