The court faced the question of whether it had jurisdiction, and if so what jurisdiction, to issue a letter of request, a commission rogatoire, seeking assistance for obtaining, outside the United Kingdom, evidence for use in the pending proceedings in this court and, if there is the power to make that request, whether the application which is made by these applicants should be granted in all the circumstances of the case. Leave to appeal granted.
