The defendants brought a motion to compel answers to undertakings and refusals arising from the plaintiff's examination for discovery, and for re-attendance.
The parties resolved many issues by consent.
The primary contested issue was whether the defendants were required to pay the cost of obtaining records before they were produced.
The Master held that, absent an agreement, the defendants were not required to bear the cost of production at this stage, leaving the issue to the trial judge's discretion.
The Master also ordered the plaintiff to re-attend discovery if necessary, with parties bearing their own costs in the normal course.
Costs of the motion were awarded to the defendants in the cause.
