The court refused an unconditional stay because the defendants demonstrated legitimate relevance of the additional discovery to expert and factual preparation and the prospect that work to identify and copy documents might be unnecessary did not constitute sufficient prejudice. The court ordered that Todd must undertake the identification and copying work but may defer provision of inspection of the copied documents until the Court of Appeal determines the appeal; the pre-trial timetable was varied to accommodate practicalities.
