Because entitlement to an account of profits had already been established and the account hearing requires full evidence and oral testimony, the court refused a separate preliminary hearing as disproportionate and potentially wasteful; further discovery from plaintiffs was declined as marginally relevant and disproportionate given the modest sums at issue; defendants were ordered to provide specified discovery and file detailed briefs and submissions on a set timetable and all substantive issues will be determined at the single account of profits hearing.
