Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by overruling two motions to compel filed by appellant or by limiting the scope of her depositions of personnel employed by appellee insurance company. Appellant sought to discover information in support of causes of action predicated partly on the allegation that a medical payments adjuster acted improperly by sharing information concerning appellant's claim for payment of medical expenses with a liability adjuster, but the alleged sharing of information was neither unlawful nor otherwise improper in this case. Furthermore, the trial court did not err by sustaining appellee's motion for summary judgment on appellant's causes of action for breach of contract and bad faith. The record supported the trial court's finding that appellant failed to prove appellee breached the express terms of her policy contract or that appellee acted in bad faith by refusing to perform without a reasonable justification for its refusal. Judgment affirmed.
