- High Court
The claim by Smith and Partners to recover its incurred discovery expenses is dismissed because the evidence did not establish the expenses were reasonably incurred or were compelled by the liquidators; a non‑party may withhold compliance until liability for payment is established, and absent proof of compulsion and reasonableness the court will not order reimbursement.
