An appeal from a master's discovery order requiring a defendant manufacturer to produce documents concerning aircraft engine parts, counterweights, and related accidents beyond those directly at issue in the action.
The appellants argued the order was disproportionate under Rule 29.2 of the Rules of Civil Procedure because it required production spanning decades and numerous models.
The court held the master properly determined that the documents were relevant to pleaded product liability and duty to warn claims.
In the absence of evidence demonstrating the burden or cost of production, the proportionality argument failed.
The appeal was dismissed and costs awarded to the responding co‑defendant.
