Alpen Partners Limited v Al-Amiri and Ors [2022] JRC 253 (16 November 2022)

Information regarding the Tring Property sale and overage agreements is irrelevant to the remaining claims for loss regarding the Gardeners Property; only offers for both properties together are relevant to mitigation. Discovery must be proportionate, but searches for WhatsApp messages and file notes are justified given the quantum of the claim and potential compound interest. E-discovery providers should meet directly to resolve protocol issues before court intervention.
