K & L GATES v. MELCO CROWN GAMING (MACAU) LTD

- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA349/2012
The summonses were dismissed because the discovery classes were drafted excessively wide and vague (constituting fishing), K&L Gates failed to show existence of further relevant undisclosed documents, substantial relevant discovery had already been made, and, critically, disclosure of ROVE/RTS reports and related material posed a real risk of sanction under Macanese law (supported by DICJ letter and expert evidence), so the court exercised its discretion to refuse further discovery.
