The plaintiff brought a motion seeking orders to compel the defendants to answer undertakings and refusals from discovery examinations.
The underlying dispute involved an alleged unpaid settlement amount, with the plaintiff claiming negligence and conversion of funds by the defendants, who relied on a disputed promissory note and authorization.
The court largely granted the plaintiff's requests, ordering disclosure of communications between the defendants, payment receipts, original emails for metadata, and Law Society files related to one defendant's retainer.
Additionally, one defendant was ordered to produce tax returns for three years preceding 2014 and documentation of his location when sending key documents.
The court denied the request for one defendant's U.S. financial statements and income tax returns, finding them irrelevant.
