- Court
- High Court
The court granted both discovery applications because the documents sought were relevant as defined by the pleadings, there was prima facie evidence they exist and are within the defendants' control, and disclosure was proportionate; further, financial statements of Haines House Haulage Company Ltd were relevant because that company is closely connected to the plaintiffs and the identity of the employer/contracting entity was in issue.
