Exemplary damages are not available under the Dyson cross-undertaking given on the interlocutory injunction (undertaking construed as compensatory); discovery is limited to documents relevant to the groundless threats claim and the pleaded case for exemplary damages. Accordingly Requests 2 (documents concerning PR 'Threat Suggestion') and 17 (documents about knowledge of the Mitsui Utility Model) are allowed with narrowed scope; Requests 1 and 4 are refused for lack of relevance to the permitted issues.
