In an employment case where race discrimination was alleged against the Transport Executive, the Court of Appeal upheld an order by the industrial tribunal for discovery of certain statistical evidence. The material must be relevant and necessary for the fair disposal of the case and discovery must not be oppressive to either party. These requirements for discovery of the material on which a party's evidence is based are not confined to cases of this kind.
