Broad discovery orders were refused as overbroad and tantamount to a fishing expedition; discovery was granted only on a tailored basis directly tied to the pleaded causes of action (specific share register/transfer book entries, board resolutions/minutes relating to enumerated pleaded decisions, and financial records limited to levies in specified paragraphs); the application was otherwise premature pending defendant affidavits; defendant awarded costs on a 2B basis less 10%.
