The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, set aside the High Court discovery order and held that the DSA was solicitor work-product in MDV's possession, remained a privileged draft not disclosed to the counterparty, privilege had not been waived by mere knowledge of terms, and the DSA was not relevant or necessary to dispose fairly of the proceedings given respondents' pleaded case relied on correspondence and discussions rather than the draft; accordingly discovery was refused.
