The court held that s31A immunity did not preclude a pre-action discovery application; the Plaintiff satisfied Order 24 r 7A by showing the impugned letter in LPPEH's possession was necessary to identify the wrongdoer and to determine whether to commence defamation proceedings, the request was not a fishing expedition and public policy/statutory function objections were unsubstantiated. Accordingly pre-action discovery was granted in respect of the impugned letter only; the purported LPPEH email was not ordered because LPPEH denied its existence.
