The plaintiffs appealed a Master's decision upholding the defendant's refusal to answer certain questions at an examination for discovery.
The underlying action involved a claim for negligent security after the deceased was fatally shot outside the defendant's building.
The Superior Court of Justice partially allowed the appeal, finding that the Master made a palpable error in refusing production of patrol officer records and event permit information, as these were relevant to the plaintiffs' pleaded allegations of inadequate security.
The defendant was ordered to answer the specific questions for the one-year period prior to the incident.
