Construction and arbitration proceedings — specific discovery application — plaintiff sought production of five categories of documents — court declined to order discovery as to items 1, 2, 3 as not pursued — discovery granted for item 4 (employment contracts, timesheets, payment and salary records) subject to further particulars and confidentiality editing — discovery refused for banking records (item 5) — costs order apportioned with defendant to pay one third of plaintiff's costs. The decision balanced relevance and confidentiality concerns and reflected partial success on both sides on specific discovery application, with consequential costs order.
