                                     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

                   (Delivered from the Bench at Montréal (Quebec), on October 19, 2004)

NADON J.A.

[1]                We are all agreed that Madam Justice Heneghan made no error when she concluded that Prothonotary Richard Morneau was not "clearly wrong" in refusing to compel the Respondent to answer the questions posed by the Appellant pertaining to the identity of the Respondent's suppliers, contractors & customers (Questions 526 and 810) and to the production of copies of e-mails sent to the Respondent's website (Questions 812 and 814).


[2]                Like the learned motion judge, we have not been persuaded that the Prothonotary proceeded either on a wrong principle or upon a misapprehension of the facts.

[3]                For these reasons, this appeal will be dismissed with costs.

                                                                                                                                   "Marc Nadon"
