The court held that while certain categories of documents from American Express and Diners Club are relevant to issues about interchange fees and the applicants' proposed defence, broad discovery as sought would be oppressive and disproportionate; given the trial timetable and prior correspondence in which the non‑parties offered limited categories, the court granted non‑party discovery in a limited form reflecting those offers and ordered formal orders to be made on consent memoranda, deferring unilateral broad orders.
