- High Court
Discovery of the plaintiffs' financial records was declined because the records are not relevant to the narrow preliminary questions (whether the plaintiffs would have exercised the options prior to 1 May 2013 and related liability); ability to pay was not a condition precedent to the exercise of the options nor directly determinative of liability on the pleaded issues, and permitting wide financial discovery would defeat the limited scope of the preliminary questions procedure.
