- High Court
The Court granted leave to pursue discovery of building consent related materials and to serve updated quantum evidence because those applications engaged ongoing discovery obligations, potential relevance, and proportionality considerations that justified relief despite proximity to trial; the Court refused leave for further particulars of betterment, broader late reply evidence and interrogatories because the applications were too late, would cause significant prejudice and disruption to trial preparation, and the plaintiffs had not sought particulars or replies within a proper timeframe.
