Grover argued that the procedural rules that governed the Hong Kong proceedings would not have allowed Mak to take his deposition, but this of course is irrelevant, as there is no discoverability requirement under § 1782. The most interesting basis for the motion was Grover’s assertion that if he were to testify in the Hong Kong case, his testimony would be private (I think he means that the testimony would be kept under seal). The judge found that the Hong Kong court could make whatever rulings it thought appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the testimony. So the judge rejected the motion.
