The High Court has ruled on a series of discovery applications between an airline and a flight search website, focusing on the protection of airline's website data and the alleged unauthorised access by the defendant. The court ordered specific categories of documents to be disclosed, which are relevant to the claims of breach of copyright, database rights, and other intellectual property concerns raised by Ryanair. The court emphasised the necessity and proportionality of the discovery, rejecting requests deemed excessively broad or speculative. The decision clarifies the scope of permissible discovery in the context of alleged intellectual property infringement and anti-competitive behavior.
