Mr IRVING has kept a daily diary for forty years or more.
The diaries fill around 50,000,000 words. The Defense asked him to produce all entries relating to their wish-list of names. It would have taken him two man-years to search all the entries.
I.e. it was oppressive, and the Court was reluctant to make the Order. He then offered to provide the
Defense with every diary, so that they could do the tedious job; but he insisted on the most draconian safeguards being built into a Court Order, to prevent the wrong people seeing or copying the diaries (Mr Irving explained to the Court that Julius’s other clients included the Board of Deputies of British Jews.)
