The claimant appealed against refusal of an order for discovery. He had wanted to disclose what he thought were illegal activities by the firm. He said that he had been dismissed for that reason and that disclosure was required for him to establish his case.
Held: The factual issues in the case were as to the decisions on the dismissal for which proper discovery would be made. The application was explicitly intended by the claimant to provide documentation to him which would allow him to further other purposes. Disclosure at this stage was neither appropriate nor necessary. The claimant had shown a vexatious attitude, and costs were awarded against him.
