    Defendants' opposition to further discovery was not shown to be without merit and their voluntary disclosure does not entitle plaintiffs to costs; defendants did not oppose non-party discovery and promptly waived confidentiality, so costs between the parties lie where they fall and plaintiffs must meet any reasonable costs of the non-party.

    • Further and particular discovery
    • Discovery against non-parties
    • Waiver of confidentiality
    • Jurisdiction over foreign non-parties
