P1 is entitled to inspect the undisputed categories of company documents (the 47 Bundles) subject to a confidentiality undertaking; there was insufficient evidence to infer an improper purpose to justify denial of inspection; the court lacks jurisdiction to grant the pleaded statutory-declaration relief (paragraphs 2-3) and such relief is demurrable; the Indemnity Costs Summons seeking enhanced costs after discontinuance was dismissed; costs were allocated between the parties as detailed and the court directed show cause proceedings against plaintiffs' solicitors for potentially wasted costs.
