Construction and arbitration proceedings—discovery disputes—application for an unless order for failure to comply with an order—application for further and better lists of documents—court finds genuine effort by plaintiff to comply—discovery sufficient and workable—no real unfairness to defendant—application for unless order dismissed. Further and better discovery application lacked sufficient specificity and proper justification—court advised parties to make specific discovery applications for any identified omissions—emphasis on focusing energy on trial. Result: defendant’s summons dismissed. Parties ordered to proceed expeditiously with the trial fixed for March 2016.
