The application was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to produce evidence supporting a genuine belief that the specific classes of documents existed and were in the defendants' possession; the Handbook relied upon is a non‑binding model/reference and does not establish a mandatory obligation to generate the particular records sought; the requests were vague as to scope and time, potentially disproportionate and amounted to a fishing expedition, justifying refusal of specific discovery and referral of costs for further hearing.
