The court held that HSBC must provide a list of documents withheld on grounds of legal professional privilege identifying date, author, addressee and a brief description (without contents) to enable the liquidators to decide whether to challenge privilege, and that HSBC may retrieve the sealed box to produce the JSM‑SC documents; the court refused to order production of HSBC internal manuals as outside the scope of the order or unnecessary given offers to explain documents.
