The defendants brought a motion to impose a discovery plan in a Simplified Rules motor vehicle accident claim.
The parties disagreed on whether the plaintiff should be required to produce certain medical and employment records prior to oral examinations, and who should bear the upfront cost of obtaining them.
The court ordered the plaintiff to use her best efforts to obtain and disclose the disputed productions prior to discoveries, finding them relevant and proportionate.
The court also held that under Rule 76.03, the plaintiff is presumptively required to obtain and disclose these documents at her own expense.
