The plaintiff brought a motion to compel the defendants to answer undertakings given during examinations for discovery in a home renovation dispute.
The defendants provided most answers shortly before the hearing but argued the motion was unnecessary, precipitous, and contrary to principles of civility, particularly given the absence of a formal discovery plan.
The Master reviewed the procedural history and correspondence between counsel, finding that the plaintiff had acted reasonably and provided ample notice.
The Master ordered the defendants to provide the remaining answers and better responses to certain undertakings, and awarded the plaintiff partial indemnity costs of the motion.
