The appeal was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to establish that the requested documents existed, were relevant to issues in dispute, or were in the defendant's possession custody or power; the requests were overly wide, amounted to a fishing expedition and related largely to a post‑contract period and to a Sun Fai contract for replacement (not maintenance), so specific discovery was not warranted and costs were ordered against the plaintiff on an indemnity basis.
