The court held that, on the pleadings and the assumption that sham debts may be relied on, limited discovery was necessary: the defendant must produce financial accounts for the 12 months prior to the compromise (Category 1) and the creditors ledger for the 12 months prior to the compromise (Category 3). The other categories (2,4,5,6,7,8) were overbroad, speculative or not relevant and discovery of those items was refused; confidentiality does not excuse non-discovery and protective orders may be sought if necessary.
