The appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to establish at this interlocutory stage a sufficient likelihood that discovery would be misused to justify a split trial; overlapping relevance of documents to liability and damages and availability of confidentiality safeguards make a split trial unnecessary, and the trial judge's discretionary case management decision should not be disturbed absent error of principle or clear wrong.
