The Court exercised its discretion under s8 to act in aid of the English Court and granted interim relief to enable the joint trustees to obtain documents relevant to the English bankruptcy, subject to independent review of privilege issues; the sealed English bankruptcy order should be treated as valid for the purposes of the s8 Request unless and until annulled in England, and privilege issues are to be resolved by an independent solicitor appointed to review files and report with costs and further directions reserved.
