    The court found that all four requirements of Order 24 rule 7A were met: the plaintiff intends to sue, the defendant is likely to be a party, the requested documents are specific, relevant and within the defendant's control, and disclosure is necessary for the plaintiff to obtain medico-legal advice; the documents were created for clinical/risk management reasons prior to any litigation and thus not protected by litigation privilege, so the pre-action disclosure order was granted.
