The High Court allowed the appeal in relation to the expungement: the 51 documents are relevant to the plaintiff's claim that the defendant set up a competing business and breached fiduciary duties; even if the documents were obtained improperly, in civil proceedings admissibility turns on relevancy and not the manner of acquisition, and failure to use discovery procedures or to specify affidavit sources affects evidential weight and procedure rather than mandating exclusion; accordingly the Sessions Court's expungement order (except as to costs) was set aside.
