The appeal was dismissed because the specific discovery application had to be assessed by reference to the pleadings as they stood before the Master; the 1st defendants failed to show the requested documents were relevant to any issue on those pleadings and the application was procedurally misconceived under Order 24 r 7A and r 8(2). The Master's dismissal was upheld but the indemnity costs award was set aside and replaced by costs orders on a common fund basis (for the non‑party) and party‑to‑party basis (for the plaintiffs).
