- High Court
The application for particular discovery was dismissed because the financial documents in Daniel Powell's possession were not relevant to any matter sufficiently put in issue by the existing pleadings; the pleadings only alleged the fact of distributions, not that Daniel's finances were required to be or were considered by the trustees, and discovery is confined to documents of actual and direct relevance to issues raised by the pleadings.
