This decision addresses a motion by non-settling defendants (Watts Water Technologies) to expand a Pierringer Agreement order.
The non-settling defendants sought to include provisions allowing them to use discovery transcripts of settling defendants at trial, serve requests to admit, and compel testimony from settling defendant representatives.
The court denied these requests, finding them premature and matters best left to the trial judge's discretion.
The court emphasized that a model order for class actions should be tailored to specific circumstances and not automatically applied to non-class actions.
