Tentative Ruling

The Court expresses its appreciation for the assistance of Steven Perl, Esq., the Court’s discovery facilitator, in resolving much of this discovery dispute.

  1. Defendant Nationwide’s motion to compel further responses to Special Interrogatories Nos. 27-30 is granted in part.  Plaintiff shall respond to the interrogatories regarding all persons or entities who were engaged in the physical inspection, remediation, demolition, construction, repair and/or renovation of the property during the time period.  Plaintiffs have made no showing of burden.  However, upon such a showing the Court will consider setting an exemption for de minimis work on the property.
  2. Defendants Lathrum and Austin’s motion to compel Request for Production No. 3 is denied.  The request is overly broad and intrusive, and Defendants have failed to demonstrate a compelling need for the information.
  3. Defendant Nationwide’s motion to compel Request for Production No. 13 is granted in  part.  Plaintiffs have agreed to produce, and are ordered to produce, forms W-2, 1099, and Schedule C for the time period.  There is no basis to require the production of tax returns.
