Appeal allowed: High Court order for disclosure was set aside because appellants demonstrated that the majority of requested documents were classified as official secrets under the Official Secrets Act 1972 and the applicant failed to establish that disclosure was necessary and relevant to the judicial review (some issues were time‑barred); discovery in judicial review is discretionary and must be strictly confined to necessary, relevant documents, not a fishing expedition.
