Blanket claims of privilege or confidentiality do not justify setting aside orders made under letters rogatory; the court will assist a foreign tribunal where the requested evidence is relevant to the foreign proceedings, documents as drafted were sufficiently particular and likely to be in witnesses' possession, subject to limited deletions of vague wording; witness objections to specific questions remain available to be ruled on at examination with ultimate admissibility to be determined by the foreign trial judge.
