Commercial litigation - application for pre-action disclosure refused
16 January 2012
On 5th January 2012 the High Court refused an application for pre-action disclosure. The Court found that disclosure of the documents sought would not assist the Claimant in formulating its claim, would not save costs and would be unlikely to lead to the early resolution of the claim. The Claimant therefore failed to satisfy the tests to be satisfied for pre-action disclosure to be granted.
