The Court ordered AC/AT to discover WCC documents within the specified categories because those documents were likely relevant to interpreting the interrelated contractual suite and potentially to implied terms; further, voluntary disclosure of the unredacted Meredith Connell report with its appendix amounted to waiver of privilege over the documents identified as key in that report; the discovery sought was proportionate given the public bodies' record-keeping obligations and the scale of the claim.
