14 Over 40 affidavits were filed and relied upon by the parties, and more than 800 exhibits were tendered in evidence.
15 Given the very large volume of material, I have endeavoured to include in these reasons references to the court book, the transcript, the exhibits and the submissions where it is helpful to do so.
16 The affidavits, submissions, exhibits and other publicly accessible documents can be accessed on the Online File.
