- High Court
The Court held that secondary evidence is potentially admissible but discovery must be confined by relevance and proportionality; accordingly tailored discovery orders were made for specific categories and limited date ranges (largely to New Zealand-use materials, up to product launch, to deemed filing dates, or limited windows such as two years from publication/priority as appropriate), while overly broad and burdensome categories were refused or deferred.
