High Court refuses an application for discovery in proceedings concerning a claim for unjust enrichment, on the grounds that the documents sought to be discovered were neither necessary nor relevant given the nature of the claim.
Unjust enrichment claim against Plaintiff by First Named Defendant arising from allegedly forged mortgage – discovery motion - Plaintiff seeks discovery of price paid for his loan by First Named Defendant – not relevant or necessary considering nature of unjust enrichment – the inequity arises because it would be unjust for the Plaintiff to walk away with the lands freely regardless of how much the First Named Defendant paid for his loan from Anglo Irish Bank – discovery refused and no prejudice arises to Plaintiff as trial judge could order it if he deemed it necessary.
