International Const. Corp. v. Chapman Chemical Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• requiring plaintiff to depose lower level employees prior to deposing executive with no personal knowledge
• deposing high level corporate executives may be duplicative, cumulative and burdensome where executive lacks personal knowledge of the disputed events
• “Discovery should not be extended when a party had an ample opportunity to pursue the evidence during discovery.”
• “When a party merely speculates as to what evidence would be produced upon further discovery, a court is correct in denying the party’s request to allow more discovery.”
• “Plaintiff delayed depositions until the ‘eleventh hour’—three days prior to the discovery completion deadline, which had twice been extended—and was not diligent in obtaining discovery within the period set by the court.”
• “It is not an abuse of discretion to deny a request to reopen discovery when the requesting party previously asked for discovery extensions, and then waited until the last day of discovery to serve its requests.”
