REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on November 25, 2004)
[1] We have not been persuaded that the Case Management Judge wrongly exercised his discretion when he did not allow a question to be put to the respondents and qualified that question as amounting to a fishing expedition.
[2] The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
