- Court
- High Court
Applying the r 8.19 / r 8.18 framework and the McGechan four-step test the Court held categories 1, 2, 4 and 6 are relevant and sufficiently material and not disproportional to require discovery; category 3 is privileged and must be recorded in Part 2 of the affidavit; category 5 had already been provided. The Court ordered the Body Corporate to file and serve a supplementary affidavit of documents by 2 May 2023 containing the specified categories (with an amended scope for category 2) and directed parties to confer on confidentiality procedures; costs preliminarily reserved for the plaintiff.
