The plaintiff brought a motion to compel the defendants, a transit commission and its bus driver, to answer questions refused during examinations for discovery and to re-attend to answer follow-up questions.
The underlying action involved a motor vehicle accident where the plaintiff was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a transit bus.
The court ordered the defendants to answer questions regarding the driver's 1996 hiring process and driving history, finding them relevant to the pleadings alleging negligent hiring and supervision.
The court also ordered the defendants to re-attend examinations for discovery to answer proper questions arising from the newly provided answers.
