The court held the 35 interrogatories were not essential for the fair disposal of the action or for saving costs because the matters sought were covered by the plaintiff's witness statement and disclosed documents, could be tested at trial by cross‑examination, and many requests amounted to fishing or required undue research; accordingly the interrogatories served without order were withdrawn and costs awarded to the plaintiff.
