GORDON & GOTCH LIMITED v HARRIS; MCPHERSONS LIMITED
(T/AS THE BOOKPRINTER v HARRIS
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES — COURT OF APPEAL
PRIESTLEY JA and POWELL JA
22 September 1997
[1997] NSWCA 126
Priestley JA. As he usually does Mr McClintock has put his submissions in
these applications forcefully and although I cannot on this occasion say
effectively because the Court is going to dismiss the applications, nevertheless he
brought to the Court's attention very clearly the basis upon which in each
application leave is sought.
The Court is of the view that it ought not grant leave here because it does not
see that Levine J has made the basic error in each case which it is submitted he
did make in treating the materials in respect of which he made his orders as being
relevant, in the received sense, to the innocent dissemination issues raised by the
defence in each of the cases.
The Court is of the view that although the trial Judge's decision does illustrate
how wide the area of relevance may be at the stage when discovery is being
considered, his Honour did not misunderstand it in his application of the wide
tule to the requests that were before him.
The Court therefore refuses the applications with costs.
Orders accordingly.
