Order 24 r.7 may be used before pleadings but the specific discovery sought was dismissed because it was unnecessary at this stage and impermissibly wide: plaintiffs had in their possession the primary emails enabling them to plead and made no prior attempt to obtain documents from identified third-party contacts, and the draft order sought would capture irrelevant and standard personnel communications; costs awarded to defendants HKD 165,642 with Certificate for Counsel.
