How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating that the plaintiff, who suffered amnesia as a result of the accident, could discover the evidence because he \was disabled from making his own investigation at the time\
- ruling there was “no excuse” for the failure of the party to personally sign even though he lived at a distance from his counsel and the place of trial
- finding an oral motion to compel discovery to be properly before the court
- “Interrogatories addressed to an individual party must be answered by that party.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
- lower court ruling on discovery under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b) reviewed to determine whether it is improvident and affects substantial rights
- it was improper for the party’s counsel to answer interrogatories under oath, rather they should have been signed by the defendant personally; it was no excuse that the defendant was out of state and not readily accessible to counsel
