The plaintiff sued his former employer for wrongful dismissal, including a claim for a bonus and damages for emotional distress.
On a motion to settle a discovery plan, the plaintiff sought extensive financial records from the defendant to calculate his bonus entitlement.
The court found the request disproportionate at the pre-discovery stage and ordered the defendant to produce only its financial statements.
The court also ordered the plaintiff to produce his medical records, as he conceded they were relevant to his claim for emotional distress.
