- CACV28/1981
The Court refused discovery for items 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 because the requests either did not identify a class of documents by nature, lacked a prima facie case of relevancy or content, were overbroad/fishing and/or would be oppressive; the Court allowed discovery of item 17 only to the extent of minutes relating to the matters in question (May 1969–March 1974) and refused item 18 for being non‑specific and too wide; a without prejudice memorandum could be inspected for ancillary purposes but it did not assist the decision.
