The application was dismissed because the Plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the documents sought were necessary to dispose fairly of the proceedings or to save costs; the requested documents were not clearly connected to the agreed core issue (authenticity of nominee documents and beneficial ownership), amounted to an overly broad fishing expedition spanning nine years, would be unduly oppressive, and would improperly shift the burden of proof to defendants; exercise of discretion was to refuse discovery and award costs.
