How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- emphasizing that Zazu Designs addressed an appeal of damage calculations and Pivot Point addressed admissibility, so in the discovery phase where a defendant’s wealth may be admissible related information is discoverable
- considering whether a defendant’s wealth is a proper consideration for purposes of calculating punitive damages related to a claim made under state law
- finding there was no “compelling interest” to delay financial discovery in a two-year old case where the discovery requests were relevant to punitive damages
- “At this stage in the litigation and relevant to this discovery motion, evaluating the merits of [the plaintiff’s] claims is premature.”
- declining to recognize selective waiver resulting from disclosure to CPSC
