REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on
Tuesday, November 17, 1998)
STONE J.A.:
[1] We are all of the view that this appeal must fail. The appellant has not persuaded us that we should interfere with the protective order of Wetston J. of May 29, 1998 refusing to incorporate into that order a "For Counsel's Eyes Only" feature. That order was plainly made on the particular record in exercise of the Motions Judge's discretion and it has not been demonstrated that in doing so the judge made a reversible error of law.
[2] The appeal will be dismissed with costs
