The court exercised its discretion to order cross-examination of the Taiwanese deponents because there were factual and legal disputes—notably on the materiality of non-disclosure of Taipei proceedings and on the lawfulness of service in Taiwan—that could not properly be resolved on the papers and where refusal to permit cross-examination posed a real risk of injustice to the plaintiff; the orders were made on the plaintiff's undertaking to tender its own Taiwanese deponent for cross-examination.
