Where a respondent swears by affidavit that certain records do not exist and no credible evidence to the contrary is offered, the court will refuse intrusive discovery or microscopic computer inspection as a fishing expedition; applicants must show relevance tied to the pleaded issues and a realistic prospect of locating the information requested; costs will be awarded against parties who cause wasteful interlocutory steps or breach practice directions.
