Calhoun v. Holmes

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that discovery of completed compromises will not deter settlement because “from the point of view of the settling parties, the deal is done”
• ordering disclosure where settlement agreement was relevant to amount of damages recoverable and the viability of joining a potential third-party defendant
• ordering disclosure of settlement agreement because “[p]retrial discovery was meant to end the sporting theory of justice. Its purpose was—and remains—to allow a wide search for facts which may aid a party in the attempt to ready the prosecution or defense of a claim.”
