Lightcsy v. Sumner

How courts have described this case

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

• party claiming privilege must provide party seeking discovery with the basis for contesting the claim
• a “blanket objection” to each document on the ground of attorney-client privilege with no further description is clearly insufficient
• blanket, non-specific objections raised on the bases of privilege are improper and may waive the privilege; party must specify evidence to which privilege applies
• “Whether a responding party states a general objection to an entire discovery document on the basis of privilege, or generally asserts a privilege objection within an individual discovery response, the resulting ‘blanket objection’ is decidedly improper.”
