- HCCL229/1999
The court dismissed the applicants' summons because the 10 documents were shown to be relevant and necessary for the fair determination of the case and the applicants failed to establish that the documents contained protectable trade secrets or current sensitive confidential information; moreover the implied and express undertakings and the age/discontinued nature of the practices reduced any confidentiality weight, so uncontrolled inspection by the plaintiff was permitted and the application for controlled disclosure was refused.
